I completely disagree. I think the two libraries is a disaster. I can
see that so many people have been exposed to a lifetime of propaganda
that "competition is a good thing", but it's just propaganda.
Competition inevitably means wasted effort, and it's obvious in D.

Well I've been exposed to "competition is wasted effort" for the first
19 years of my life, and believe me, you wouldn't want to be subjected
to that :o). But, I hear your point.
I've read a little bit of history on Romania and the conditions under Nicolae
Ceauşescu's reign. I'd be interested to sit down with you sometime and hear
your perspective as one who had first hand experience of it. It sounded
pretty bad -- conditions with which most of our Western culture is completely
unfamiliar.
All the best,
