On another side, I do not like to > use stable but crippled version there are some fixes that are going to 2.066, and there is the plan to eventually release 2.066.1 (already here), 2.066.2, etc. with those fixes incorporated. so it should be fairly good to just stick with 2.066 and upgrade it when new minor version released, if you don't need that shiny new features (and bugs ;-). > I've seen many YouTube videos about D and as far a I can remember > "million users" is at least Walter&Andre's wish. That is maybe > good only for the Amazon books? :) Walter and Andrei aren't the whole community. ;-) yes, they are project leaders, but not anyone in community is always agree with them. ;-) we are lacking manpower too, so some things has to be postponed. there is not so many people who can donate their time to supporting old compiler verions for example, so we can't support all released versions to the extent we want to. it's much funnier to work on new features. ;-) yet that things must be solved somehow, and community trying to do it's best. there are plans to do better release cycle, better support and so on. but almost all of that work is done by volunteers, so things aren't rolling fast. this is the downside of being independent. ;-) > AFAIK c++ binary interoperability is very difficult problem due > to different c++ compiler implementations. yes, there are alot of problems to solve -- that's why D doesn't have it fully working from the start. but there is alot of work done in current dev DMD, including different c++ mangling schemes, ABIs and so on. i'm not really in position to talk about that though, as i'm not interested in c++ at all.
