Nevermind properties. Any chance we can forbid the omittable
parentheses, at least in the lhs of an assignment expression?
This is not because of the omittable parens. Even with added
parens that code should not compile!
Agreed!
I still want to get rid of omittable parens (and
function-call-as-a-lhs)
anyway. They're a horrible substitute for a real property syntax.
I don't like C# properties, IMO it is pointless overhead. I agree
you can misuse the omittable parentheses, but what is a "real"
property syntax? Seems to me both D and C# provide the same syntax
they are just set up differently.
What I like in C# about properties is that they are like "pure"
functions, so they don't have side-effects (this is just a contract
on the semantic of properties).
AFAIK, this is not enforced by the compiler...
I write C# properties that have side effects.
That's what I said it's a contract on the semantic of properties. :)
But now I'm curious: what kind of properties do you write?
You can have side effects, but it makes the code darn near impossible to
debug. I've been there and don't plan on going back!
