yeah it seems like the community is closed off for feedback,
which is concerning.
Not at all. These things have been discussed to death and
decisions have been made. Do you regularly have discussions with
the folks in charge of Java, C#, or C++? Do they quickly
implement your requested features?

I doubt that this would lead to a large influx of new D
