While those are both important, isn't it even more important to have the
existing 32-bit implementation complete? How can you showcase a language
that's incomplete and buggy? Can't both those features wait until after
D2 is considered polished enough to be released?
I keep seeing reports from people running into bugs, unfinished
features, and incomplete documentation. There's no end in sight, either,
yet a book has been released and the language is promoted as if it were
a finished product.
I've been deferring adding 64 bit support for years. Not having it is the
biggest barrier to the adoption of D there is right now.
