I'm sorry many of you have spent your lives working on something that won't amount to much in the real world. It was a valiant effort. Maybe it will seed new languages that will actually work and have the tooling to be useful. D itself is not a practical tool for general real world software development.
What is "real world software development"? Of course it is exactly what I happen to do and it is done exactly the way I do it. Nobody uses scripting languages, nobody uses Python, all programming is web development, real development is done in an IDE, real development is done in a corporate setting as part of a team of at least 15 software engineers and involves automated testing and dependency checking and code reviews. Nobody uses garbage collection. Real developers don't use a compiler.
I have nothing useful to add to this discussion. It's Sunday morning and this lecture about how I'm not a real programmer annoyed me.
