Maybe this will be of interest to someone. D was mentioned on the
official Swift Blog today:
Swift borrows a clever feature from the D language: these identifiers
expand to the location of the caller when evaluated in a default
argument list.
Swift also kinda borrowed "lazy" as @autoclosure... but actually lazy is
slightly more powerful.
I'm lazy, but not powerful :-)
"Those who do not understand D are condemned to reinvent it, poorly." ;)
But it will be a "killer feature" in any other language.
Amusingly, the "Language Game Development Talk" video has a list of a dozen
features wanted in a game programming language that are already in D. Including
the speaker's great invention of D dynamic arrays!
Features of D are creeping into other languages right and left, but nobody wants
to say they came from D.
