I just spoke with Dicebot about work stuff. He incidentally mentioned what I said before based on my impressions. The people doing work with a language have better things to do than spend a lot of time on forums. And I think in open source you earn the right to be listened to by doing work of some kind. He said (which I knew already) it was an old post he didn't put up in the end - somebody discovered it in his repo. He is working fulltime as a consultant with me for Symmetry and is writing D as part of that role. I don't think that indicates he didn't mean his criticisms, and maybe one could learn from those. But a whole thread triggered by this is quite entertaining.
Interesting, I did not realize that he had left Sociomantic. Even if he did not release the article, I think it's a good idea that we take some of his criticisms to heart. I, at the very least, agree with at least a few of them, and as we've seen, so do others.
