> What pleases me are the people who use D, like it, and tell me they make more money using D because D is much more productive to write code in.

I guess what I've been trying to say is that you would find yourself pleased much, much more often (and D being much more successful) if you recognized and addressed these high-level issues that people have been pointing out for decades, instead of denying them and going on forums telling customers why their expectations are wrong or unnecessary. I'm saying this because D really is a great piece of technology that got a lot of things right, except a few crucial details for some of the most crucial users. And it has had so much potential - potential that has been gradually lost largely because you haven't even recognized the flaws and hurdles that come with it.

It remind me of the infamous Dropbox comment. It's as if you invented FTP, but then whenever people told you it's hard to store & share files, you kept insisting that it's trivial with just a few simple steps on Linux, completely missing the massive market opportunity and the barriers you're telling people to walk through. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

And I'm not saying all this out of out hate for D, but out of (at least past) love for it. I desperately wanted to see it succeed, but I gave up because I realized you simply did not see the Achilles heel that frustrates many of its users and that has held back its potential.

Anyone is free to propose things for D, we have a process for it, or you can just post your idea in the D forum. Many do. You don't have to sit back and hope someone else does it.
