A statement of design goals or design principles says, "This is what we want to do." A manifesto says, "This is what everybody should want to do. This is exactly why the Date/Darwen manifesto choose that word. D is a good language. (I am forced to use Visual dBase in my day job, so I find D to be a really, Really, REALLY good language). There are other good languages out there. There is no reason that all systems/general purpose languages should have the same design goals or priorities. The word "manifesto" suggests we think otherwise. C++ programmers already have an "if it is not The Next Big Thing in Programming Languages, then why bother" attitude toward D. We don't want them to think of us as kooky zealots was well.
