Now that Andrei's much anticipated publication of TDPL is out, is it time
that D1 should now perish?
My personal feeling is that by cremating D1, time and effort can then be
better expended and focused on solidifying D2.
Other people brought up other issues with doing that, but I'll add this: D1
users are primarily Tango users. And until Tango goes D2, those user's
migration paths to D2 would be fairly large (certainly not impossible, but
notably harder than it would really need to be).
Sometimes I feel like D1/Tango and D2/Phobos really should evolve as completely
separate languages. D1/Tango feels very much like Java++, while D2/Phobos
feels a
lot more like (C++)++. If there's enough manpower for it, it'd be very
interesting to see how this would play out.
I think this type of fragmentation could only hurt things--and has
already, except that phobos has become more open.
With fragmentation you have less effort for each. One complete product
is far better than two half-implemented ones.
