Development is far from stopped, which is the problem: we're trying to stabilize the language, and adding more language-level features will only delay an already overdue stable language version. Nevertheless, D has gotten to the point where it's powerful enough that most feature requests can be implemented in a library rather than as a language extension. There's been a trend of moving away from core language changes and implementing desired features in libraries (esp. Phobos) instead. T -- That's not a bug; that's a feature!
