Walter, of course I didn't intend to criticize your knowledge of your own compiler; the implied accusation makes me feel bad in retrospect :p
No reason to feel bad. I'm not insulted :-)
It's just that I feel that D could and should be simpler than it is, and I'm worried that no attention will be paid to that problem before the 2.0 release.
The problem is, I know of no way to make a simple, consistent, small language that is also powerful. And these days, programmers demand a powerful language.
Compare your car with a Model T. The T is simple, easily repaired, easily understood. But who wants to drive a T these days compared with driving a modern car?
