> The people who want to drag D into the Java/C# territory are the problem in my opinion
Absolutely and that's the majority of D community.
> took what C had to offer and put it to the next level
ImportC is a fantastic stuff that Walter is working on.
> simplify the language
Sane defaults, but the ship has sailed. Reminds me of a talk Scott Meyers gave a while ago "The last thing D needs (is to hire him)". I think it's time they hire him.
> compiler performance
Rather focus on just LDC or GDC and drop DMD altogether. DMD is a good piece of software, but for such a small community, I find it alarming that they waste human effort across 3 different compilers and still complain lack of resources.
