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?

flamebait alert?

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.

 Any language not in active development (no don't mean phobos, not toolchain)
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.

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