mind if i say that i don't give a shit about what "commercial

want? and the last thing i want is cutting out language
features. yes,
"moving out of the core" == "cutting off". half-baked feature

people, so eventually somebody will do something with it.

feature will remain non-existant for a long time.

and i have a great way to know what "commercial users" really
wants:
the things they are paying for. no, that's not working like "do
what we
want and maybe we'll give you a cent or two". it's quite
contrary,
actually: "here's the money we'll pay for what we want". FOSS
is not
the box to which you shouting and then magically pulling the
results
for free.
Hi Ketmar,
1)I quote me: "How much $ funding so I consider it?"
here in D form- http://tinyurl.com/ks7z9jy
2) http://www.meetup.com/D-Lang-Sillicon-Valley
This is us hosting and operating it, I hope people join 30
members so far for the first meet up in Jan.
3) I pay salaries for 6 full time D users, who use D.
So I hope you do care about D, and hence we have to work together.
I have a suggestion that one can have lots of features w/ stable
core, both.
Adding features will not work, that is a fact that some don't see.
Moving them is painful, no question about that.
Current situation is we are stuck, ex:
" Anyone want to review these and see what we should add to
Phobos?" from
