This is nice.
To get the design win, we need to: (a) get dynamic linking and loading to work
Wasn't this realized before? By the way, last weeks there seems to be increasing dynamic linking & loading buzz like it was not an issue for ages.
(b) improve language safety without degrading efficiency
This is vague. Language safety (meaning design improvement) or implementation (fixing bugs)? How you can measure such improvement?
(c) improve quality as always
This is also vague. Quality of what: dmd/druntime/phobos?
Of course, these things benefit pretty much all D users anyway. Initially, (a) is the most important.
I guess recent patches dedicated to the issue came at right time.
