Is there absolutely no concern for D users's code? It
certainly seems like it. Maybe it would have made sense a
decade ago when D was just starting... but D has been around
for over 11 years now. To have screwed up so badly that after
11 years you still don't have a stable platform to write code
for (well, you do with D1, but in a month there will not be
that excuse) is mind boggling.
I tend to disagree a bit. First D is a very, very powerful
language
written by just a few people, with no commercial background, so
I think
it is quite reasonable that it takes more time to stabilize
than much
simpler languages, let's say python.
Actually, this is true that D have little resources, and the work
done is really incredible. To be fair, D community is one of the
most technically competent I know of.
That being said, the problem isn't the amount of work, but how it
is managed. Thinking that D is not stable because of resource is
just avoiding to look at the truth.
