So what I hear is: if D wants a future embrace one personality
only. Given current state of affairs, it should compete against
the like of Java, C# and Eiffel. Embrace GC and forget anything
like better C and competing against zero cost abstraction
languages. For this to happen D must focus all its energy on
implementation of a second to none GC.
This of course , has both sense and sensibility, but given that D
has been unable to commit to one personality in it's life-spawn,
how likely is to happen ?
Walter, what says you ? Where do you actually want to go with D ?
What you and D foundation wants, not Russel or I or whatever else
?
