FYI: There also has been a recent debate about developing a new
version of Phobos
(http://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]) to be able to get rid of auto-decoding, make everything work nicely with @nogc and allocators, fix design issues with ranges, cleanup messy packages (e.g. std.traits), etc.
I think everyone on the forums here agrees about the problems,
it's just not clear what the best course of action is as breaking
changes are costly. Remember that there are still companies using
D1 or Python 2 out there.
OTOH many people representing companies have already vouched here
that they would love to see the annoyances fixed and something
these issues are even blockers for their official D use at work
