Yes. So, finally, the question is "positioning"
. Who is your "target user"
?
What kind of people are you going to attract
to join 'd'
?
I have been proposing to attract talents in c++
.
Because 'c++' talents
care about 'speed/memory'
most, and they are also willing to write libraries
. This is an excellent group
! Why not attract
them?
Listen carefully to their opinions
. What they are not satisfied
with is the direction of D's efforts
!
Through them to help 'd'
writing the library and increasing the peripheral ecology
of 'd'
!
Our opponent is 'rust'
, so we must compete with with rust
in who attract most C++
talents!
This is where D should go.Talents
is the most important! Meeting their needs is more important than meeting the needs of ordinary users
!
