digitalmars.D - D3 together with Phobos v2
- IGotD- (12/12) Mar 29 2022 The work on Phobos v2 has been initiated which is a good thing.
- Suliman (2/14) Mar 30 2022 Where I can read about Phobos v2?
- IGotD- (4/5) Mar 30 2022 Not much other than the maintainers have mentioned it from time
- H. S. Teoh (6/13) Mar 30 2022 There's also this:
- Nick Treleaven (5/7) Mar 30 2022 Is there any consensus (among the lead devs) about what needs to
- rikki cattermole (1/1) Mar 30 2022 At the current point in time, there is no D3.
The work on Phobos v2 has been initiated which is a good thing. However, shouldn't D3 be developed alongside withe Phobos v2? With Phobos v2 we have an opportunity to review what is needed in the D language and adjust accordingly. Right now we have a DIP process which has a high inertia by design. While this is good for a stable language, for new development we need a more disruptive platform in order investigate what works/what is useful with the D language. Where the maintainers/developers can play and investigate new ideas without the fear of destroying for the developers working with D2. Basically a long term testing ground. It's really an opportunity we should take advantage of.

D2 can continue to add backwards-compatible features and even deprecate any mis-features if the maintenance cost is too high/too restrictive.

At the current point in time, there is no D3.
