@safe by default would be a great change(and IMHO, immutable by
default. But I highly doubt that would ever get through.)
I don't think the single idea part is a good suggestion. There's
nothing wrong with a language featuring multiple
paradigms/focusing on multiple areas as long as they're all well
implemented(and D does this reasonably well!)
But I do agree with the "I don't feel smart enough for D." I
really don't know how to fix this, maybe it's just a symptom of
the above - I don't really feel smart enough for C++ and I've
been using it for years : )
Getting prominent D projects more recognition should be a really
high priority.
