Exactly! We should be making a better D, not a better C.

There is no better C, than C, full stop.
-betterC should become .. -slimD
But we really do need a focus on both -slimD and -bloatyD
For D to be successful, it needs to be a flexible language that
enables programmer choice. We don't all have the same problems to
solve.
C is not successful because of how much it constrains you.
