Andrei
my modest opinion about this
D currently is a small player, that have an attractive
proposition for some
* it is like C++ (that is close to the power of C++) but simpler
* it have some unique advanced feature related to meta programming
D's best hope is to be a bigger player, it is unrealistic to
replace c++
Any improvement made to D will help make it a bigger player
And while some D features can be better advertised
(like Design by Contract, DbC is a big deal, and few other
languages are know to have it)
I think D need to constantly add features, the idea that D is big
enough, or that it needs more idioms rather than features, is in
my opinion wrong
D need to constantly add features, because all of it competitions
are constantly adding features
As D add features, it may have a breakthrough, at some point
