#2It would also be good to know a high level timeline of all these visions. Otherwise these visions will just be visions forever. For instance, https://wiki.dlang.org/Vision/2018H1 directs to https://github.com/dlang/projects/milestones but both there seems no updates since April/May 2019.
Edit: added previous "vision" links

#3As long as we search for stuff on the internet with text terms (i.e. Google) you've got to enhance the name of the language. If only something boring as DLang, please please do this.
I feel bouts of sympathy every time I think of D, and I'm not even a hard core fan or anything.
No need to change the logo or anything. Just sneak in something actually searchable (dlang, or whatever) in footers and headers of documentation etc. Then just stick to it and Google will do the rest for you.

The domain is dlang.org, the github repository is called dlang, the titles of their pages are things like "Dlang tour" and "Dlang forums". It's already searchable as dlang with no issues.

The sad part is, every time I type dlang in google for something, it tries to correct it to golang and that's terrible. duckduckgo doesn't do that.

#6D needs to up its game with the Techempower benchmarks IMHO. Vibe.d has been completely left behind by the usual Rust/Go/Java suspects. I'm very confident that it is capable, but that isn't particularly obvious atm.

I guess I also mean actually referring to it more as DLang (or something) so people start calling it that. "D" is so hopeless to even use in conversation. Even "Rust" is miles better, and that's not exactly a brilliant name either.

#8C++ interop sounds like a great unique selling point. Rust/Go/Swift can't match it.

Yes, this is why the Go language was a complete failure too. And C before that.

It's beyond me why most languages fall into this trap: C, C++, C#, D, Go, etc. All hard to search for. Granted some of these predate the internet, but most do not. Almost looks like some kind of secret agreement between language designers.
