I've fixed some of the issues in a couple bursts of activity over the last several years, and filed a bunch more bugs, but the specifics aren't the point I'm raising here, though your trimming of the thread dropped that part of the context. You dismissed complaints of the incompleteness of safety as the whining of non-users. I'm a user. I was a much more frequent user until I got tired of the sheer number of only partially complete nature of so much of the language + core library. Yes they're separate, no that's not relevant to the majority of users. Yes, I can and have contributed to the fixes, but it's clearly (just based on commit history) not a priority to many people.
Same here....
The D ecosystem is a large pile of incomplete features, with more added all the time.
I'm not using D anymore, at least not for new production projects, exactly for that reason. I don't feel confident any more on the future of the language exactly for that reason.
