LOL. Don't worry. I'm sure that someone will come along and
start griping about something soon.
I think much of the problem is pure angst. And bad email list
etiquette.
In other language mailing lists I am, on a gripe thread lasts
about five
to 10 emails and then fades away. With this list it generally
gets to
about 300 or more. Usually covering, over time, seven or 20
different
topics completely unrelated to the original posting and
retained subject
line.
Self-criticism is necessary for improvement.
Anyway now D has Rust to content with, as well as Go and C++.
Rust's syntax dooms it to the same niche as Haskell. Go isn't
full-featured enough to really go after the king, C++. There is
only one challenger to C++ and it's D. It's a good sign that C++
has been copying D features recently, it means they're feeling
the heat.
