I think Andrei has some good ideas and I like seeing his and
others perspectives. Everyone has different experiences and can
bring something to the table, which can cause some interesting
disagreements, but more viewpoints add perspective. The
difficulty is that everyone has their own agenda of why they
want their change, and value is different depending on what
kind of work you do and what domains your familiar with.
I actually do like that D2 wasn't afraid to break things. I
actually like breaking changes if done for good reason, but I
can't say I know all the changes in D2.
This, not sure what's up with all the blame on Andrei for D's
issues. Especially blaming him for D not being enough of a
systems language when Andrei is most known for his c++ work.
I think D is moving in the right direction, and the community
seems more lively now than ever since I lurked this NG(~2012)
The focus on working without the GC is _still_ very fresh, yet so
much has been done in only months. The refusal to acknowledge
that D should be usable without a GC was pretty bad though.
