Dear Anonymous,
IMO D needs to be more stable, the alternative is more and more
features and less and less commercial users and followed by
less maintainers that don't want a dead project to work on. D
'marketing' brings people in, who then leave.
So I proposed: Do like GO does w/ Exceptions ( I can send link
again if need)
*What* would be another way to get stability that is not
fantasy?
I consider the surface area of features vs available volunteer
maintainers at hand. If you are not sold, look at CLR and JRE
features relative to D features. Now look at the size of their
maintenance teams as relative FTE.
Does that look as sustainable?
Hence a prediction: major things will be moved out of core to
3rd party plugins to slim down the lang, because now it's more
than a lang: it is a platform.
