There is almost no meta programming support. Let alone CTFE.
And no generics in the form of e.g. Java's is not the same as
D's meta-programming support.
Yes, D is a very powerful language with a boatload of features.
eC almost seems like a subset. but what I find fascinating is the
infrastructure built around it. Of course when someone's full
time job is to build infrastructure, I tends to happen more
predictably. But like all things in life you have to take the
good, and carry it with you into the future. I bet there is alot
we can learn from eC. I wonder how compatible the two languages
are, I have been experimenting with language to language porting
techniques, every language is in similar in some way to another,
but to varying degrees.
