I can only read that as you calling larsivi not "good enough to lead a
successful fork" and not "wise enough to work on the D language instead".
Walter says: "Belittling [others] [...] is unprofessional behavior."
He was refering to other people on the forum, of course. But I would
expand that to authors of other projects as well, particularly ones that
are (even) smaller than D. Punching down is not cool.
The point is on the other side - the barrier is very high. Carrying a
programming language design and implementation is an extremely difficult
task.
