I'd like D improve some more.
The single most impactful way to improve D some more at this point is,
without a shred of doubt, reviewing pull requests on github. Anyone who
has any nontrivial interest in the future of D should help us turn the
ratchet by reviewing pull requests. Anything - potential bugs found,
safety suggestions, efficiency suggestions, LGTM - would help the core
team drain that pipe.
are distracting and counterproductive.
It's not distracting, because it focuses on something you do often
(divisions), and it's hopefully productive because it could avoid some
bugs and decrease the time spent performing rote manual code review.
If you diverted 1.0/10 (sic!) of the effort you put in these discussions
in reviewing pull requests, that would help us all put up a lot better
with the distraction.
