For people investigating the D programming language, the dissatisfaction with compiler quality and the release process from the authors/managers of one of the two competing standard libraries (another glaring issue...) doesn't settle well.

Walter really needs to get with the program and make his development repository available for read only access. This is probably difficult for Walter considering that he hasn't fully embraced open source. It wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't use version control, either. Maybe he needs a smack upside the head with the DVCS cluestick. Get him to start using git/mercurial/arch/bazarr/monotone/whatever, and publish a repository so his community can track the changes.

Otherwise the perceived instability of the compiler and the competing standard libraries are going to relegate D to the language backwater where it'll just be a geek curiosity.
