You do not necessarily have to agree with Andrew, but this is a
pragmatic developer's view. Let me say that Andrew has created
his own database system (Relational Algebra based) , his own
language (Ruby like) and his own application frame work.
Finally he is using his Tools to create real world software..
i.e. Trucking/Transport / Accounting etc.
IMO a voice, D core developers should listen to.

I didn't see anything of relevance for this group, but it is a
good statement of current affairs that those looking at D should
be aware of. The "const" system is something I avoid and
recommend avoiding, but look forward to seeing the final pieces
being put together.
Personally I think he is completely wrong on the template note
(for one development on hit has basically been complete for
years). Templates are simple in D, but as you learn them you will
want more and that power you want will be the complexity. I also
don't think you need to know much about them to use them.
However, Any question asked here will likely receive feedback on
how to use templates/mixins and all their extravagance because of
how idiomatic D they are.
