oh please, who are you kidding? we all know that the problem ain't lies with Walter. this is all your doing with your negative and condescending attitude towards others in the NG. I'm sure I'm not the first to say that. Let's compare: Bartosz took upon himself the task of designing concurrency for D. For that he put forth a lot of effort to explain the design and the rational behind it, he also encouraged discussion of the subject in the NG and answered questions. You've re-implemented phobos from scratch, but in contrast, your phobos (however great and superior in design) is a one man job. you didn't involve the community in the process like Bartosz has done even though you know that a new API in the standard library has a huge impact on the community. especially irritating to me is the fact that after all the hard work Bartosz has put into designing and explaining his idea you simply canceled it with a two line post. Have you found flaws in his design? please explain to us simple humans so that we can share that understanding and provide a better design. Remember, There's a saying in business - "The customer is always right" and here the community of D programmers are those "customers" of the D language. No matter how stupid, annoying, ignorant or whatever they can be (I'm sure I fall under some of these categories) if you continue condescending them they *will* go to the competition (Python, C#, Ruby, Java, whatever). Personally, I already switched. I see no future in D as long as you keep torturing its community.
