One of the reasons I asked Walter to provide an insight into what
he wants D to become, why betterC, GC or lack-thereof dilemma ,
and future evolution is to minimize a bit the biases I have.
What I learned the most in the last days is what other people
than the creator of D think of D (valuable too), and that is hard
to get a straight answer from the people developing D language on
my predicament with seeing it with multiple personalities.
Also, no matter hope great D is, I practically live in a D-less
void. No one cares about it around me and no one I know cares to
learn it. This is another social aspect. As I learn it
and learn how the creator sees the language I could try to change
this in my immediate surrounding if it worth. It would be up to
me once I am convinced to seduce people I work with to consider
it and learning it.
