How is that? That makes no sense. If Phobo's is production

non-production ready, can it?
D cannot afford to be stagnant in a time of fierce language
competition. C++ almost died off completely outside of a couple
of niches because it stood still for so long. D does not have
the momentum to carry it for even a half year of no
improvements.
I didn't say they wernt, but they are being done on phobos
Honest question: have you ever looked into Kaizen and lean
management https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizen? Because
stopping everything in Phobos and waiting for "breakthroughs"
is a dead on arrival plan. A continuous improvement process is
much more viable, realistic, and likely to produce good results.
This is not true. There are many development methodologies and
most of them are not suitable for designing programming
languages, including all "lean" methodologies.
