"3. The documentation poor."
I agree.... but so is the documentation for virtually
everything else I've ever used too. I'd take D's over Ruby's
for example.
Ruby and Python have their documentation on Slashdot...
I wish Ali's book was available on dlang.org and cross-linked
with documentation. I think documentation is the smaller issue
(full language spec is a much more important priority IMHO).
But it is interesting to read these current raw viewpoints from
people who obviously chose D as the best starting point for their
projects, used it for a while, but somehow lost interest and feel
a need to express their views.
If D had an asm.js backend it might be possible to create a
"editor/compiler in your browser" tutorial. I like those. Combine
that with shared view and live chat in the same window and you
have a kick ass entry level solution.
