I think you misunderstand my intent. D2 will carry D to far
reaches, and is a very usable, and now stable language; and I
know D3 won't come for years. That said, there are language
issues that, as you put, simply can't be addressed in D2
because they're not worth the effort required to fix them. I
only meant that I think once D3 does come around, and it's
*perfect*, that others simply wont be able to resist it and it
will truly be adopted on a mass scale.
There's no such thing as a perfect language.
