So I hope Walter and Andrew will do steps like including vibed
in DMD distributive and will focus on Web-assembly. I am not
sure that strategy of better integration with C++ is help to
get more people interesting in D. It's just like IBM, that
added support of Windows apps in OS/2 instead of writing native.
I really hope to see D more high level language instead
language concurrent with with came niche with Rust.
But here it is also problematic.
D is pretty close in syntax to Java and C#.
Both are now getting AOT compilers as part of their standard
toolchains.
Java will eventually get a better story for value types with Java
10.
C# 7 and later are getting features from System C#, the version
used to develop project Midori.
Given that one cannot consider a programming language without the
eco-system, I don't see the type of customers we work with,
switching away from the JVM or CLR.
