In fact, that's what I do right now.

I think that's great. But it requires a lot of work (as of course you know).

Good things require a lot of work. :)

Of course. But getting something done and available in a short amount of time is also good!

For example, some people say to me "why should I use D, when C++0x solves my issues with C++?"

And I point out "how many more years are you willing to wait for C++0x, when D is here now?"

[Setting aside for the moment the issue of whether C++0x really is better than D or not!]

The point is, good enough now gets us further down the road of getting a user base large enough to justify the effort for a more comprehensive solution.

For example, if I have many miles to commute to work, the best choice is a car. But if I can't afford a car, or am too young to drive, a bike at least gets me there. Before I was 16 and could drive, a bike was very liberating for me, I rode it everywhere.
