Hi,
I had been using D for almost 6 years and I want to share my
opinion with you.
I don't want to blame anyone but I'll focus more on bad things
and possible improvements.
And this is just how I see D from my perspective.

Whats about this one?
auto foo = 42;
auto bar = "bar";
writeln(`Foo is {foo} and bar is {bar}`);
String interpolation could be done in a library.
fmt!("Foo is ${foo} and bar is ${bar}", foo, bar)
At the moment you'd just use format.
format!"Foo is %1$s and bar is %2$s"(foo, bar);
While both are a bit more verbose, it seems to me that
interpolated strings aren't that big a deal.
Collecting arguments and design ideas in a DIP would still be
worthwhile and very welcome.
Even if ends up not being approved, it would ensure a good
decision base and avoid future discussions.
Sth. like
s"Foo is ${foo} and bar is ${bar ~ `bla`}"
to be lowered to
format!"Foo is %1$s and bar is %2$s"(foo, bar ~ `bla`).
could be a feasible approach on a first thought.
