It seems very significant to me that Dlang leadership is officially considering this idea. It would be great to have this kind language evolution decision documented somewhere.

I suppose what I'm suggesting is some sort of language evolution F.A.Q., roadmap, or maybe a document similar to the current vision document, but one that outlines the entire future of D as it's seen by leadership, instead half a year at a time.

It would be nice to have a companion document to this one [1] that outlined the state of discussions on things like whether __traits will ever work on private symbols, the status of scope, ref counted classes, etc..

[1] https://dlang.org/articles/faq.html

I think I could probably find those on the forums, but the amount of time it would take is kinda scary.

Thanks!

I just moved a bunch of spec wording from the DIP straight into the spec. This should make that DIP and any related ones a lot easier:
