My summary of this discussion
* D as a language have issues, issues serious enough that they
cannot be fixed without introducing breaking changes, which more
or less means creating a spinoff language, or languages
* D as a project have issues, those cannot be fixed, because D's
main attraction is Andrei and Walter are both the problem and the
solution, again, no real solution unless their is a spinoff
languages owned by a different group
I think that a lot of the complainers, are expecting that either
Andrei or Walter, will create a new version of D that is
basically a new language, or that they will explicitly create a
new language that have all of D good points but none of the bad
I dont think that Andrei or Walter, are interested in creating a
new language, I think they will keep trying to improve D
incrementally
As a realistic short term fix, I think both Andrei and Walter,
need to streamline and be more vocal about long term plans,
because this is obviously a source of confusion for many, and a
source for a lot of rants
