And the nice thing about D being open source is that should the situation escalate to the point where the community simply cannot get along with W&A anymore, forking is always an option. (Hopefully it won't come to that, though. AFAIK there was a fork during the D1 fiasco with Tango vs. Phobos, but that fork has since basically died. Maintaining a language is a lot of work, and not everyone has the persistence to stick with it for the long haul.) T -- Guns don't kill people. Bullets do.
