Workers are out at the construction site and although they are capable to build big scycrapers, there is need to provide basic facilities for them in order they can start doing useful work. Then when they prove that it's possible to build something useful, more investments can be made to extend the scope. At the moment, D is to risky to invest in it for commercial agents, so open-source projects seems to be nice fit. For a long time, GHC was practically the only serious project done (not 100% in Haskell (later Darcs appeared on the scene), what we have to show as written in D2? As mentioned in another thread, D with its features for paralleism, FP-stuff etc. *could be* very attractive as general programming language suitable for those imperative programmers which cannot easily grok monads and wants to take advantage of their multi-core CPUs idling at the moment. So, as Adam wrote, let's provide rounded feature set which works so that, at least, (open-source) projects can write D2 code today, possibly without too much sacrifice. :-) Sincerely, Gour -- A person who has given up all desires for sense gratification, who lives free from desires, who has given up all sense of proprietorship and is devoid of false ego — he alone can attain real peace. http://atmarama.net | Hlapicina (Croatia) | GPG: 52B5C810
