For those not in the know, Manu is special.
He is in essence a use case for D himself.
We really should be trying to make him happy in terms of blockers.
It's just good business sense.
Shame we can't throw money at him, he would have great ROI value.
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.
Your entire reply is reason to care about your opinion :)
I'm not alone in thinking that you're a very valuable community member.
Perhaps you can have a chat with a member of DLF about getting a list of
issues for you figured out?
