Owned pointer in Rust is a good design IMO, how about D
equivalent?
I think this is about the closest ATM:

would be good to have it as language feature like scoped
reference. this clear code (as from c++11 experience abundant
std::unique_ptr<T> get me irritated). And of course unique
idiom (ownership) get D usable for realtime (removed GC)
While I'm convinced that unique pointers / types are a
important concept, especially if combined with immutable.
(What's transitive unique/immutable can be cast to immutable ..
), I don't think that just adding a new type modifier will lead
D anywhere.
No, I didn't assert that. I just proposed a synthetic sugar =).
Unique pointer/types are already in D (at the library level).
