Added mandatory C++ attacks and D fanboyism
I read the exchange just now (nice job ponce) and am a bit surprised how
much others know about what I do, e.g how I don't use D. My entire
doctoral research is implemented in D (to say nothing about phobos). I
haven't used another language extensively for about three years. And how
the heck is TDPL a filibuster for D? I think it's accelerating, not
delaying, D adoption.

Because tdpl is (perceived to be?) delayed, D2 finalization is delayed.
But unless D2 is stable, Tango won't switch to D2
and the Tango vs. Phobos won't get (at least) compatible.
LDC might as well switch to D2.
Not that this is entirely correct, but I think tdpl is perceived as
filibuster for these reasons.
As far as I can tell, library and language incompatibilities (Tango/
Phobos, D1/D2) are a big problem. Mostly for newcomers to D.
Those who have settled with a combination may feel more comfortable, but
still.
I understand. Well, what I can do is to keep on working! Page 317 and
counting.
