Hi
As a newcomer to D, I wonder, how difficult would be and would it be
welcome by the D community to have D's syntax with significant
whitespace and without brackets more like python?
Thanks.
What draws you to D, if not the syntax? If you're looking for a fast,
Python-like language, and you don't mind dependence on the CPython
runtime, I'd suggest looking into Cython (http://cython.org/).
If you're interested in modern language features and expressive
metaprogramming with a Python-like syntax, I'd recommend Julia
(http://julialang.org/).
You might also be interested in Dylan (https://opendylan.org/), though I
don't know much about it.
Dylan could have been a great language. A lisp for systems programming
with algol syntax.
Developed at Apple, originally targeted at the Newton.
Since it was newly released as open source it has got some followers,
but I am not sure if it will ever manage to get out of "could have been
great" status.
