I didn't get that impression. Seems like he wants to cover
existing practices in a more time saving package, then add some
neat stuff:
- automatic region allocator per object
- ctfe including executing external programs
- uda + static reflection
- debugging tools for freeing shared memory (without rc/tracing)
- go style literals + type system?
- swift style nullable
Seems he wants a streamlined nogc/nothrow version of D with a
dedicated syntax for his field. D could probably be modified to
fit pretty well.
