3. Don's company uses D1 as its language, I highly recommend watching Don's Dconf13 presentation (and look forward to his Dconf14 one!) to see how effective D code can create unbelievable speed, especially where array slices are concerned. But to the above line, in D2, they must add the following code to get the same behavior:

arr.assumeSafeAppend();

Just a quick note, buried in same thread that Don mentioned, he outlined a more specific case, and this does not involve setting length to 0, but to any arbitrary value.

This means my approach does not help them, and although it makes sense, the idea that it would help Sociomantic move to D2 is not correct.
