That's wonderfully undefined. A pragmatic compiled language can
be anything from ATS to compiled Python.
Static analysis is a focus and believed to be done with
relatively simple and clean language rules that ensure correct
results.
Which D is not.
Current direction seems to be explicit
structs+destructors+allocators.
I don't see this. Allocators is purely a library feature and is
not designed to be explicit either.
Buf if that is right then:
- Get rid of the dichotomy between classes and structs, having
syntactically different pointers for classes without any semantic
significance is rather annoying.
- Get rid of all gc-dependent language features.
- Add language features that enables proper custom pointers.
etc
