moving from D1 to D2

I was learning a few different languages at the time, and it's a bit fuzzy in my head, but I remember the confusion between the 2 compilers. One was incomplete and/or obsolete, and the other one was in beta or something and you shouldn't use it anyway. I chose nothing and tried something else because it was annoying to watch. Walter, as the BDFL, should have decided on something but it never arrived, and the hype went away.

All I remember is that some Japanese guy wrote a bullet-hell library and game in D, and that was great. But the community was too confusing for me.
