You can't speak about resurrecting language without considering costs of resurrecting the toolchain - unless one wants to write programs exclusively with pen and paper of course.
That's true, because the gap in developping the toolchain accumulated. The alternative would be to stall D2 at the current language state and start D3 with the main target being the memory management pardigm.
I kinda doubt that RC and other management techniques will integrate smoothly into D2. And is not the breakages that I worry about, it is that the language could become a behemoth with many legs and no head. That is, will loose streamilness.
But I do recognize the troll pattern now, thanks.
With all respect, but you are looking into a mirror while taking it for a window.
