9. I hope D will be great again
Are you someone who lives by hope and fears about things that
have a meaning for you? Or do you prefer to take action? If
the latter, what do you think might be some small step you
could take to move the world towards the direction in which you
think it should head. My experience of life is that in the end
one way and another everything one does, big or small, turns
out to matter and also that great things can have quite little
beginnings.
So what could you do towards the end you hope for ?
Hope is usually the last thing to die. But one has to be wise
enough to see that sometimes there is nothing one can do. As
things are now, for me personally D is no longer an option,
because of simple basic things, like autodecode, a flaw that will
be there forever, poor support for industry technologies
(Android, iOS) and the constant "threat" of code breakage. The D
language developers don't seem to understand the importance of
these trivial matters. I'm not just opinionating, by now I have
no other _choice_ but to look for alternatives - and I do feel a
little bit sad.
