Hello...

  I am told that the D language has not been standardized yet. Will this ever happen in the near future?

In fact it was standardized well over a year ago.

What are you expecting, ISO certified D?

Walter is the author, he gets to set the standard. That's how it works. :)

The trouble with standards is there's so many to choose from.

I know, but that is not a standard, it's a specification. A standar is predictable and has an agenda, and meetings, and people discuss and desitions are taken by more than one only person.

I don't know about that. I'll have to consult the Standard Standard. :)

Well if that is a standard, then lets NOT standardize D!!

The parts of a "standard" I have any use for is the part that lets you use it. I don't give a ___ how it's made (D seems to do well with King Walter) just what it says. IIRC in mechanical systems, standards are things like "threads are this shape" not the people that define them (that is a standard committee or organization).

To be fair, a standard represents some sort of agreement among people, typically about a design.  And the usefulness of a standard is directly tied to how many people agree about that design--the most common way of reaching a consensus being a committee.  So the D language is 'standard' insofar as that we have all agreed to follow the design.  The situation is a bit unstable in that it relies on the receptiveness and the talents of one individual (ie. Walter), but fortunately he has proven himself up to the task so far.
