Would just like to remind you all that he's trying to foster conversation rather than declare "this is the most perfect language ever". A lot of his ideas don't hold water in their current form but I'm sure D wasn't designed in a 2 hour live stream :). I'm personally really excited at the prospect of some momentum in a language designed specifically for games engineers.
It is great to have a conversation. It's good to revisit assumptions about what a good language should be. Although I don't agree with him, I thought that it was great that he questioned the value of RAII.
But I think it's a waste of time to develop a new language that has 98% overlap with existing ones, like if I proposed a language just like C but with member functions.
