Shortly after DConf, I asked Átila to consider writing a blog 
post once he got settled into his new role as a language 
maintainer. I didn't have a clear idea of what the content should 
be, but about three months ago GreatSam4sure requested in the 
forums that Átila write a post about his vision for D's future. 
That blog post is now live.

The blog:
https://dlang.org/blog/2019/10/15/my-vision-of-ds-future/

Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/d_language/comments/di7gwl/%C3%A1tilas_vision_of_ds_future/

You'll see that he mentions the items on the list were the result 
of his thoughts during a long walk around Lake Geneva. It wasn't 
a three-month walk. The delay is because this is one of those 
instances where I could use  safe on my long-term memory storage.

Átila would love to have feedback on this. Though you are free to 
post comments on the blog post or in the reddit thread, it would 
be great to keep all community-centric discussion in the forums. 
I've started a thread in the General forum for that purpose.

It's better to link straight to an item on hackernews as links on 
the front page disappear very fast.

You can do that once it's no longer on the front page, but if you 
do that while it's on the front page the post will be deleted.

So linking to this item on the front page will have it deleted?

I’d be surprised!

HN has this (IMO) ridiculous policy of going to great lengths to 
prevent upvotes from people following a direct link to the post.

Hmm. Are you sure? I just went to that link I put up there and 
upvoted. Is this documented somewhere?
