Serg's master plan is to turn D into Python 4.

Doesn't look like that. I can't understand a man who complains about the lack of manpower in D and at the same time advises beginners to use a different language because D is unpopular. It's so strange and contradictory. With friends like him, who needs enemies?

I tried to talk to him about it. He didn't understand what I was talking about. I hope something has changed...

I'm not saying I agree with his way of seeing or saying things, but he does write D code, so that's good haha. Might also be a translation thing.
Now, would it be nice if some D users weren't so extremely critical all the time? Yes. I'm not talking about serg specifically. Serg is kinda ok actually. Just my random comment as someone that is using D maybe one year now :)
