Madness even! AAs are soon mostly in the library and that's a good trade-off; @trusted @system needs to be there as long as there is @safe; exception handling - some people rely on it heavily. See it as the easy way to error out of a function that doesn't normally return anything and cascade up several calls, while being able to release resources in each. I don't know about Phobos. Some batteries included are nice and help the popularity. When it comes to bindings to third party products with many alternatives, like databases, I'd say one should cut it there definitly. I can agree on the rest. -- Marco
