--- Comment #15 from Ketmar Dark <ket...@ketmar.no-ip.org> --- (In reply to Andrei Alexandrescu from comment #14) > We won't change names without very good reasons. being *really* hard to remember IS a good reason to change the name. it's a human psychology again: hard to remember is unattractive, easy to remember is attractive. seems that D is intentionally unattractive. and name changing requests are blocked until people wrote enough code, so that such requests can be finally rejected with "that ship is sailed" verdict. --
