Again you make an authoritarian statement "Engaging on this
matter will be just a waste of time.".
Nobody has to waste their time, they don't have to read.
There is no way _you_ can know what leads to a change that will
bring the necessary changes that makes D competitive.
D added @nogc YEARS ago, because I pushed the point that the GC
would never be a viable option for real time programmers. But we
still have no competitive memory management on paper. That's two
years too late. We should have been implementing it now.
D needs a competitive solution to Rust and C++ before C++
compilers implement the next generation C++ features. That might
be next year?
I would love to get rid of C++, but I increasingly believe that
this will not be a rational option. That's sad, because C++ is a
nuisance.
You cannot focus on D without changing the process. Meaning: give
critical features higher priority than "low hanging fruit".
