I've been staying for long enough, so let me ask - when the announcement will happen approximately? ))

Well, as a real world engineer, needing to solve real-world problems, and 'interested in' bringing large code bases to D, can you tell me why I cannot have an encapsulated class in D, but instead, I am forced to outsource that enscapsulation to the module?

When will the impossible, become possible?

That was an excellent post.

That's really great! Thank you. :-)

Yeah, I'm curious to know which features/aspects could have lead you, finally, to choose between language x, y or z for example.

When Bjarne and the D community is criticizing your complexity, that's saying something...
