Whenever D is making a marketing push you get newbies in the
forums complaining about lacking libraries, lacking IDE,
lacking tooling. Then they leave, most likely with a bad
impression, because they had higher expectations.
Yes they leave and go to another language with a lot of tools but
the new language design sucks or it's slow to developing or have
restrictions whatever.
If people believe that D is as popular as Swift, which is the
current TIOBE ranking, they also expect the eco system of
Swift. Which D cannot deliver.
Couldn't some of those "new" people see a great potential on D
and write new tools that is lacking right now?
Sorry but this is not like be realistic you're being too much
pessimistic. Let the river take it's course. :)
