Well, it's true, that we all have preconceived and limited
notions, about this or that.
But honestly, dithyrambic praise of how D does things is not all
that helpful.
You talk about being 'free' as a programmer, but that terms only
seems to apply to your needs.
I'd like to be 'free' to decide on whether I want type privacy,
or module privacy.
I don't understand the dithyrambic praise, from some D users, for
D preventing you from doing so (in a way that is truly 'free' -
as opposed to enforcing a design decision on to the programmer)
Anyway, the 'reality' is, that type privacy can be both
convenient and inconvient.
Good luck on your path towards that enlightenment ;-)
