Don't get me wrong, as soon as D2 is stable, I'll be the first to switch.
But where does the current discussion leave those of us who want to use
D and talk about the usage of what is the current mainstream core of
the language - 1.055 - if I understand the situation correctly? That
should be digitalmars.D.
If there was discussion about how good it was that the various flavors
of the language were getting in sync, and on idiom, and on cool D
programming techniques, and on explanation, I'm sure the newsgroup would
pull more people in.
As it is, the uncommitted with some interest in D visit occasionally,
and leave with the same old, same old feeling.
Let's try to turn D into a really active living language, not some vague
future possibility. Perception is everything!
IMHO:
digitalmars.D --> digitalmars.D.dev
digitalmars.D.learn --> digitalmars.D.users
D is not big enough to fork the groups in D1 and D2 IMO, but currently
there is considerable overlap between digitalmars.D and digitalmars.D.learn
in what they cover.
