After following these forums for quite some time I think the
roll-your-own-as-proof-of-concept is the best approach. If it is
better and the compiler is capable of taking mainstream D as well
as your own syntax then others will follow and there will be
pressure to implement it in the main branch. There is just waaaay
to much resistance to improve the D syntax to waste time arguing
for it.
Time is better spent arguing for more performant/better semantics
in the mainline and fix syntax in private builds until the wind
changes direction… (and an alternative build that is better, yet
remains compatible, is the best way to change direction the wind
is blowing).
I'm rooting for you! :-)
