I wish he'd elaborate on why it's not an option for his daily work.

I wish he'd elaborate on why it's not an option for his daily work. [...] I can't speak for him, but it could be employer resistance, or perhaps the current volatile state of D. But this is just a wild guess. T -- To provoke is to call someone stupid; to argue is to call each other stupid.

Yea, or (for all we know) something more inherit to D. In any case it'd be very interesting to find out. I'm sure he probably will elaborate at some point, in some place, but I'm quite anxious in the meantime :)

Come to think of it, I'm sure the lack of game console targets would be at least one factor.

Not so sure about "employer resistance" though. *Technically*, he's just an employee, not CEO or anything (IIRC), but it's a very unique case: He's been known to have more power there than his "superiors", at least when he chooses to wield it.
