To be brutally honest, I'd say that this discussion (and a few

I have suggested the Google Summer of Code for D even the past year,
and I agree it's important for D future. But I think Walter has to
know something about modern JITs& dynamic languages too. I have had
bad experiences with Guido (Python author) that until no more than
one or two years ago seemed to didn't even know what a trampoline
stub is, and this has caused some problems. You have to take care of
the knowledge of your Benevolent Dictator For Life, I want Walter to
know lot of things.
Bye, bearophile
Teaching van Rossum or Bright is a bit assuming. I suggest a simpler
path - apply the noble goal of knowing a lot of things to yourself, and
use that expertise to contribute to the community.
Thanks,
Andrei
