While I don't approve of Mr. Sabalausky's tone or attitude, the crux of

@property, it's D's insistence on optional parens. If paren usage was
clearly defined then this would be a non-issue. I would like to point
out that I can't think of another systems/general purpose language that
has an calling syntax specification as vague and convoluted as D's. C#'s
is brutally simple. Java's is brutally simple. In C/C++ everything is a
function or field, so, brutally simple.
Make D's calling syntax simpler, end optional parens!
There are many languages that allow optional parentheses when calling a
function. Ruby, CoffeeScript and Groovy to mention a few.
