D's biggest problem at this point is that everyone (including me) vaguely remembers that period where it was in limbo between different design strategies, and consequently frets: "is it stable yet?".

Luckily, that seems to finally have reached a "yes!". Development continues, but nobody's getting the rug pulled out from under them anymore.

I heard about this schism less than 5 years ago so there's probably some pages/blogs/talks that need to be updated.

It's mostly second hand commentary.

HN is an outlier in that people have even heard of D, for some perspective.
