I agree. We have a lot to improve in terms of marketing.
Mainly our messaging is jumbled.
Rust = memory safety
Go = the best runtime around
D = everything I guess?
And the problem is that D is good at everything (IMO), so how
do we go
about marketing to everyone without getting our messages mixed
up in the
public's view.
Yea, its kinda depressing that programmers will be cold towards
D, and admit flat-out it's because D *isn't* a one-trick pony
centered around once single gimmick. (I've encountered that
myself. Such a facepalm inducer. "Polyglot programming" has
rotted people's brains.)
We need a powerful message that resonates. I think performance is
the strongest message and it directly attacks people's major and
misplaced concern about D's garbage collector.
