a. are we planning to keep D just as a hobby language or a real contender for industry use. Despite being complex, rust has started to get adopted in industries. Whats our plan ?
D is already largely fit for industry. In my niche, there is only C++ competitors, and exactly zero Rust/Go/Zig competitors. D is a practical language, not the "earn the maximum of points of HN"-type language.
I think JUCE is largely the reason for why almost everyone starts out with C++.
Anyway, audio is an area where you have to write your own MM no matter which language, sabso it a bit atypical. If you create many similar products, then you can create you own framework with your own MM. Most dont, so then you need a solid MM for that application.
I find that the easy option for GUI on mac now is SwiftUI, implies xcode, implies C++.
If I planned to do many similar applications, then I might have considered something else...
