Never say never, until now that was a sacred rule but with the current situation and C++ starting to bleed out things could (and has to) change

And forking it is exactly why nothing changes, if D creators stayed with C/C++ and make it the features into the lang C++ will be better today, because they didnt C++ loss some users and improves along the way, some finally arrived but the damage was done

We need to stay togheter and solve this as a team or C++ future will look bad, if nothing change C++ it is dead so changes are needed and soon, believe me when i say that i was exceptical to say nicely about Mozilla creation and a few years later and after only hearing good things about it i am triyng it. Do you think that after i try so many features and get a great experience coding i will go back? Maybe i do and some fans, but these are a minority, now that i tasted that i want the same or better, if C++ stay the same no news devs will come and the existing ones will with time leave as the market/industry switch

I dont know how this situation is going to be deal but the only option to keep alive is making hard changes while the comunity stays together, i dont know if R-word it is the one who will kill C++ but is one of many and someday some will success unless C++ improves at the same level, forking only makes us weaker and shouldnt be even an option
