A common thing people write about D is don't add any more features except for their feature proposals. :-)
Well they shouldn't have. It was much more fun to program in Python 2.7 and Java 7, I wouldn't touch those languages with a five feet pole these days
Why specifically Python 2.7 and not, like, 1.5? Python 1 and 2 are as different as 2 and 3 (that is, surprisingly not much).
