Go 1.2 - Hackdot

D is complicated for sure, but it doesn't have the issues you mention, and is still fun after years. I would be curious what fatal flaw you find to not consider using it. To me it certainly feels like a dirty Haskell which values your liberty very much.

I have never investigated D due to fears of becoming unmaintained.

There is more to a language than just the language itself, especially when you use it in a business setting.

But you made me curious now.

Andrei Alexandrescu did a reddit IAMA recently (with Walter Bright contributing) and if you read through the posts I think you'll come away with the impression that D is very much here to stay (I certainly did anyway).

It got a major boost in "popularity" by Facebook announcing they are deploying in production in some system they have.

They employ Alexandrescu, a well known C++ figure, who I understand is quite fond of D now.
