Sure, but in many cases D allows you to work around decisions
you don't like. Plus, you can actively contribute, make
suggestions and prove your case. The length of some threads
shows that Walter, Andrei and others involved in the
development take input seriously and answer questions and give
the reasons for their decisions.
Well, in case of C/C++ there is also rationale for decision, but
not in the forum form. But providing rationale is not helpful if
there is disagreement.
That these decisions are not always to everyone's liking is
inevitable. Given the contradictory nature of requirements in
programming, it's only logical that one cannot cater for both
sides all the time.
Definitely agree.
