I'm currently out west so I'm a couple hours off, but here's the 
next installment with summaries of forum discussions - with a few 
of my opinions added in - and a contributed interview! Lots of 
cool stuff this week.

"($P - DUB was born as a spin-off of vibe.d" and the closing 
paren at the end of the paragraph.

Hey, that's over 6000 ;)

Also, yes more interviews please.

Also also,

 An example of a simple but fundamental issue are the defaults 
 of the built-in attributes. I think some of them, for 
 historical or compatibility reasons, are currently simply the 
 wrong way around (pure,  safe, final and scope should really 
 all be enabled by default, with scope providing recursive 
 guarantees) and using them properly completely destroys the 
 initial idea of having a clean language syntax. It's sometimes 
 really sad to see modern idiomatic D code degrading into a mess 
 of attributes and contract syntax noise. After all, a clean 
 syntax used to be one of the key selling points.

+1 for this entire paragraph, sometimes D looks simple and 
elegant, other times it looks like someone puked attributes.

Rust code is safe by default and it is littered with unsafe{ } 
blocks.
It is also immutable by default and it is littered with the 'mut' 
keyword.

I think D absolutely choose the good defaults everytime but some 
attribute don't buy enough compared to the line-noise they 
generate.

For these reasons I mostly ignore pure, nothrow,  safe, immutable 
etc... in routine code and only put them when the code is 
especially reusable and somehow won't change much.

Since D1 I really value the ability to make bad code quickly in 
time-contrained situations.

 Rust code is safe by default and it is littered with unsafe{ } 
 blocks.

I think this has more to do with Rust's extreme safety, many 
things doable in  safe D code would be no-no in Rust(i.e, you 
can't even manipulate pointers IIRC)

Oh I see, so it's almost as huge as NPM, I just took a quick look to get 
the current number and never noticed that this is just per letter... But 
personally, for D, I'd like to see an ecosystem that has fewer but 
larger libraries.

 Adam, can you strike out/correct that number in the interview?
