digitalmars.D - D3 plans

A legitimate question - where are the D3 plans? Any language not in active
development (no don't mean phobos, not toolchain) is dead. D2 has little
potential without AST macros. I want to participate in D3 development. Maybe
bearophile could lead the process this time?

One step at a time. We just got x64 support on Linux, Windows is still far away from that. Shared libraries is the next big issue. Proper implementation of D2's features is also still ahead.

is dead.
A language with a thousand cool but half- or unimplemented features is of no use either, not to mention the role of development tools.
 D2 has little potential without AST macros.
D (the language, ignoring implementation quirks here) is already far ahead of many another language, especially in terms of metaprogramming. Even D1 brings substantial productivity gains compared to C++. Naturally there's plenty of room for improvements but I wouldn't call it having little potential.

I say we can put out D3 about the time Linux puts out kernel 2.8.

There are none. Go away.

<snip> And D is in active development, in the form of fixing bugs and clearing up spec issues, slow as the progress may be. Stewart.

I think the changelog shows that a lot of progress is happening. http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/changelog.html
