my 1 cent: we should stop trying to convert C++ users.
Please, do no push devs to do not do something. There are two

I've tried to follow the "betterC" discussion, but so far a
precise specification of what betterC is supposed to be eluded
me. What I got was that you seem to be judging druntime to be too
heavyweight and want something more lightweight, but I was never
clear on what exactly.
I believe in betterC and betterC target is C/C++ industry. Old
D users are happy with DRuntime and growing Phobos.
Please don't throw all "old D users" in the same category,
generalizations like that only alienate. On a related note: What
I believe in is that D's community can't take another rift like
Phobos/Tango, D1/D2, so I've been very skeptical regarding the
value of betterC. This doesn't mean I'm happy with druntime and
phobos, though.
This ways are not compatible at least for now.
I must have missed that: Are you saying that someone using
druntime in his application will not be able to use "betterC"
libraries?
Mir libraries are going to be betterC, the next great betterC
goal is DCV.

Would it be possible for you to provide a precise specification
of what exactly betterC is going to be? Or, if that already
exists, and I have missed it, point me to it?
