Communications. Another point to add to the complained list
*lol*.
At my work here, we have weekly status updates where the
project leader writes down:
* x person is working on y.
* x task has been finished.
* y is proposed.
It saves on a lot of time because we do not need to repeat what
we are working on to each boss / college.
Sometimes i think that Walter and Andrei are probably also
tired of explaining the same thing over and over again. The
issue being that a forum simply eats information and unless you
read each and every thread, you will always miss (potentially)
important or interesting information.
Interesting that you bring that up. A couple of years ago we had
a discussion about the need to improve communication. We said D
needed a blog to better communicate what is going on. Now we have
one, and by my count, the number of posts from Walter and Andrei
are zero.
That's okay, because the language itself is not the problem.
Almost all problems with the language can be fixed by others.
Walter and Andrei don't have much to do with editor support, for
instance, and I doubt that they are familiar with the IDE world
even if they did want to get involved.
Anyone can start a group to work on something. If you want to put
together a group to improve the IDE situation, come up with a
plan (we need x, y, and z and here's how we'll do it), make an
announcement on the forum, and run with it. No need to ask for
permission, because there's nobody to ask for permission.
