Can you provide the Reddit link? Right off on the Brainfuck example,
the author used a class instead of a struct, and none of the methods
were marked final.
Here it is:

I don't think the author is an experienced D programmer, but that's
maybe why I find it interesting. That shows what a new naïve user can
expect as a first result.
Oh boy all classes with one-liner non-final methods. Manu must be
dancing a gig right now :o). -- Andrei
But in Crystal he also uses classes and doesn't mark methods as final.
And it's faster than D.
This is not to start a war, maybe one day I'll have to use D in my
workplace so it better be nice and fast (so it's better if all tools are
good).
At least in this case, the compiler should detect that the class isn't
inherited and that you are creating an executable out of the program, so
it's can't be a library, and mark the methods as final. And with escape
analysis (something that Crystal also lacks, but other languages have)
the compiler could figure out that the class doesn't need to be
allocated on the heap.
In short, I think we need smarter compiler, not more keywords to
optimize our code.
