All is in the title.
This is becoming increasingly the norm in new languages. It is much better
in term of performances (it avoid cascaded loads to call methods, which
can be really costly on modern CPUs), make object themselves smaller.
Would implementing them that way break D code ? What would be the extent
of the breakage ?
It could, but we don't have a stable ABI and we don't allow directly casting
from interface references to classes. I would be interested to see how the
performance changes on some interface-heavy D code - and honestly without an
implementation that shows a big speed bump I don't think this will ever
happen.
