It is a much lesser problem that Phobos is weird than the
language, libraries are easy to fix. But yes, I can't think of a
single non-framework language that has shown growth over a long
period of time without making aesthetics a selling point: Lisp,
Haskell, Ruby, Python… Obviously if people are dealing with ugly
on the job, they want something clean when they get to pick and
choose.
Out of curiosity, did you give up on Aliced now that dmd is
moving to D from C++?
