However, we are becoming unsure if D is really an option for us
I'd probably consider hiring compiler devs who are doing something interesting but grumpy with the management and making a d subset compiler that you control if you actually of a size large enough to justify it
Maybe, but it would be best if we didn't have to and could stay mainline D as long as possible. I want to hear other peoples experiences with this for comparison.
In my experience, only 1 bug report of mine has ever been addressed; and the drama this week was patches written 6 years ago.
>Can we count on that if we find an issue with D that it will be taken care of?
so the answer is just no; you should not expect d to change meaningfully ever. If you want a foundation to base a lot of people's livelihood on you should day 1 plan to build that foundation in parallel with whatever product you making so you have the talent on hand and meaningful control over the outcomes.
