See http://s3.amazonaws.com/dconf2007/WalterAndrei.pdf. There are some amazing feature listed there. I can't think of anything else I'd like to see implemented (except for automatic type inference of substructs in struct literals). I don't know how to explain those, so I'll give an example: struct Foo { int a; int b; } struct Bar { Foo f; real asdf; } auto def = Bar(Foo(1, 42), 13.7); //current Bar def = {{1, 42}, 13.7}; //C-style //downside: only possible if you initialize //when you declare auto def = Bar({1, 42}, 13.7); //Bar for clarity, Foo obvious //simpler, especially with many nested structs I've gotten pretty far off topic; this probably deserves it's own thread by now. --Sam
