Mr. Walter Bright, I'm late to the party here, but I hope you will see my comment. I have a lot of respect for you and Andrei, and I think D deserves much more love than it gets. I personally feel like there are too many options when it comes to D. Perhaps it would be good to double down on some combination of those options and make that widely known? As a newcomer to D, I am exposed to GC/non-GC code, dmd/llvm compiler/gcc compiler, several debuggers, some BetterC option, etc. I don't know which toolchain is best, and I don't want to deal with the integration issues between them. All of these options that exist are great, but the brand gets diluted. D seems to be the ideal thing: it's seemingly a better C++, and a better C, with a clean syntax like Java. I trust it's a better C, but how do I know the combination of the D toolchain that I'm choosing is better than sticking with the devil I know already? What I would love to see is an opinionated package spun off from D. One compiler, one debugger, one IDE, one standard library. Make my onboarding experience better and take the thinking out of assembling a D toolchain. Every time I find myself thinking "maybe I should look into using D instead of C for this project", I spend a few hours with D, and then I get frustrated at all the options and I go back to the devil I know. I truly wish I could be one day convinced that I can install D and I get a solid platform without weird moving parts.
