Please elaborate.
There are many development methodologies and most of them are
not suitable for designing programming languages, including all
"lean" methodologies.
D is a continually improving language. If it wasn't and D2 had
the same design today as it did when it was released, or it had
a language committee and it proceeded at a quarter of the speed,
then D would not be nearly as popular as it is now. Design by
committee usually produces subpar or bland results and is
painfully slow to boot, and IIRC is one of the reasons Walter
created D: to get away from the C++ standards committee.
