Just a few days ago, Walter was talking about 'the final feature'. Andrei is going through the tedious and unpleasant process of finalizing TDPL with his publisher. In a minute it will be March, so to get anything finalized by the summer of 2010 is already looking like a stretch.
Now we have a whole new slew of suggestions for change. I think that at some point the membership of digitalmars.D needs to accept that there is a deadline, and that further discussion of the ideal language refers to D3. Another provocative way of thinking about this is that D2 is already 'E', unless the faithful users of D1 and Tango are to be unceremoniously dumped. In that case, the discussions that have suddenly flared up now are about 'F'. Time to choose. Will D ever be a widely used programming language, or is it just a excellent vehicle for discussion of programming language features? Steve
