Agreed on most counts though I’d say D simply produced a language
without regard for build tools and large projects. Many small
annoying things like version(unittest) stem from that fact.
In addition I think many things could easily take a ton of time
to compile and run tests. ctRegex is one such monster.
Inadvertently pluging that into somebody else unittest build
would be murder ;)
It’s a given in some other languages that you need some library
support to write tests (sometimes any tests) so they usually have
cleancut prod dependecies and test dependencies. Our unitest
being built-in practically forces the style.
