Hey All,
I'm in the real world now, where there is less time for just "what the heck why not" projects, I need to work with my time a lot more strategically now.
I've taken up Taekwando and Hapkido, heavily recommend martial arts to anybody.
I'm probably going to start some sort of open source web toolkit thingy soon :p
That's why this is the second to last announcement.
So I'm not doing D or ArcLib anymore, someone else can take over the project.
I guess I could give some simple advice to the D folks while I'm at it :p
A) Don't make the language a kitchen sink, purge ALL duplicate features and evolutionary stumps
B) Don't split your very small community
C) Make your language inter-operate with other languages

I hear what you say.
I tried hard to like D, but I encountered exactly the problems you mention.
Then I gave up and started with LÖVE. I'm having more progress there. You can do pretty sick things with Lua.
It is sad to see a project abandoned, I sympathise.
I also left the D community behind, for several of the same reason as you.
It really has the potential to be a great language, but unfortunately project leadership is not only slim to none, it's actually been to the detriment of the language and is keeping it from being a success.
