DIP 1027, "String Interpolation", has been rejected. The decision was
primarily influenced by the lack of consensus over the implementation
and the syntax demonstrated in the two review threads. As the DIP
author, Walter also rejected the suggestion to go with an
implementation that resolves to a library template. He sees that as
equivalent to AST macros, a feature which he has previously rejected.

Out of curiosity, how and who makes such a decision? Is there a voting?
Is there a committee? Is there a structured pro/con overview and
highlight of blocking-points that need to be resolved?
I mean, people spend a lot of time thinking, making suggestions, etc.
and the end result is: we now have nothing. Which, IMO is the worst
result for all.
As a community with highly skilled people I think there should be a way
to come to a good solution, not only a good enough. If not, this
doesn't shed light on D and the community...
