There is no chicken and egg situation with D anymore. It has been around for 10 years. D1 at least. D1 and D2 are different beasts. Tomasz wrote it better than I can right now http://h3.gd/devlog/?p=22 http://h3.gd/devlog/?p=22 and I respect his view because, if nothing else, he is the man that wrote the largest code base there is written in D (for his Nucleus engine and tools). Main problem, among MANY, is that people who are working on D these days are not coding in D at all, not serious projects at least - otherwise they would see fairly quickly what is wrong with it. This topic has been covered among D community by large now, you can dig up fallout of tango team from D2 and numerous sagas alike on digital mars newsgroup.
