Hi, Also, I can't seem to find the results of last year's survey - https://dlang.typeform.com/report/H1GTak/PY9NhHkcBFG0t6ig - says the report is private. I was going through the rust 2018 survey [0], and it had some really interesting stuff in there. Maybe we can use a lot of the questions from there as well if there's going to be one?

Also as a side note, while core devs have merge rights, they don't have any big influence on fixing the points mentioned in the survey (see e.g. https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/9844#issuecomment-496746875 or https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7988) for an inspiration).On Monday, 17 June 2019 at 19:27:14 UTC, aliak wrote:Aw :( What do you mean no one?

What's lacking is a coordinated effort to fix them.

Especially the ones on why people quit/cannot use, where they obtain information and what syntax/features they dislike/want.

I also think maybe encouraging people to ask everything there instead of here may give D better visibility both with the public and SEO. It looks like the D community (who participated) is still nowadays quite open to productive breaking language changes.
