I think we need to gather attention from new people that are
entering in the field. So they don't mind to risk or try new

If a guy wants a language that compiles to a native code, and
it's "easier" than C++, has GC and so on, then he will be

Absolutely, totally agree, and I am indeed one of these C++
programmers. I'm actually fascinated by different set of D
features, but nevertheless.
