Haha! I tried to mitigate coming across that way, and express myself in terms of patience and frustration, which I think is probably something a lot of people here can relate to. Sure, there's no reason for anyone to care about my opinion, but I have truly spent years investing in D, and strategies and attempts to integrate it into my work *professionally*. Doing company demonstrations, training colleagues, attempting small projects as proof of concept, etc. That's all I care about. I have hobby projects like everyone, but what I *really* care about, is getting to the point where I can write D code professionally in my field of work. I also think I work in one of the prime fields where D has so much to offer... but we also have an unusually high bar-to-entry.
