Dear D community,
I've been urged by many others to post about Amber here. It is
a programming language being derived from D1, with a compiler
written using D1 and Tango, with LLVM and C backends. The
quality of code and documention is alpha (or pre-alpha).

It is really great to see Amber rolling!
I think D2 could take some inspiration from Amber as Amber takes
from D2.
For example I like idea of allowing modules and packages with
same names.
As alternative to DIP16.
I wonder what issues would be with D2 if we would allow
constructions like:
std/net/http.d :
module std.net.http;
class HttpClient {}
std/net/ftp.d :
module std.net.ftp;
class FtpClient {}
std/net.d
public import std.net.http;
public import std.net.ftp;
main.d
import std.net;
auto http = new HttpClient();
etc
Or more up-to-now problem.
std/datetime/time.d
std/datetime/date.d
std/datetime.d:
module std.datetime;
public import std.datetime.time;
public import std.datetime.date;
Looks smooth for me tbh.
