if(cond) var = "hello world"; else var = 42;The fact that an if statement could change the type of a variable is just atrocious IMHO. Maybe I've just spent too much of my time in statically typed languages, but I just do not understand the draw that dynamically typed languages have for some people. They seem to think that avoiding a few simple things that you have to do in your typical statically typed language is somehow a huge improvement when it causes them so many serious problems that static languages just don't have.
maybe some sort of misunderstanded generic style of programming in prior D times :)
