If it is a toy language with a hobby development process then
it does not warrant more
resources.
Walter is entitled to do what is fun and rewarding to him,
obviously. If working on his propriatory backend is important
to him, then he should do so. Nobody has a right to question
that.
But the net effect of maintaining 3 different backends is
sending signals that the project lacks direction and priorities.
Why would anyone commit resources to a project that lacks
direction?
We are all entitled to our opinion. It's my experience that
people tend to listen more to those who show themselves to be
generally friendly and encouraging than those in whose eyes one
doesn't seem to be able to do anything right. D doesn't strike
me as a language, project or community lacking in direction,
particularly given recent developments. I suspect resources of
all sorts will come in time.
Toy languages aren't used by the sorts of people that have built
their businesses around D. I don't think you do yourself any
favours by adopting the tone you do. It's disrespectful and
unconstructive.
In any case, I don't wish to divert attention from what's
important, so I won't say anything more on this topic.
