Not interested, huh? Funny, that I had not expected.
Maybe they appreciate more something that improves the life of
regular D programmers. There are many possible ways to do that,
like trying to design features that quite probably will be
added to D, or trying library ideas that will become part of
Phobos, trying new GC features, trying new Phobos modules, and
so on and on.
Otherwise you risk creating another Delight
(http://delight.sourceforge.net/ ) that no one uses, it's just
a waste of time for you too.

Yes, but I need input. Tell me some ideas and I'll try to
implement them. So you could just test new features in the real
world, instead of just talking about them theoretically.
And it is not 'waste of time'. Me and my fellow students use D as
early as the second Semester for almost all university projects.
But as '(pre) compiler' we use Remus just because we miss some
features, such as not-null references, since the first week. And
it's a damn good exercise to understand, how a compiler works. :)
