Surprisingly (or not), lack of semicolons is something that I
have
sorely missed in D/++/Java/C#/etc. ever since I first tried
Ruby.
There's a lot to be said for the little quality of life
features in a
language.
You may misunderstand -- I prefer semicolons. But having to
write swift code for a few weeks, I find now when I write D
code I forget them all the time (where usually my proper
semi-colon rate is near 100%).

Since you have experience, what is the level of the language?
Is it C or Javascript level? It is not clear by looking at
example codes, and I do not have much time these days to try
anything new. (My first post was written by looking at code
examples.)
Are you able to define C bindings? Can I do socket programming?
Are Posix function accessible? How is the speed?
As opposed to D, there is a lot of conversion going on from C to
Swift

PS One hour of working with Lua ruin my semicolon discipline in
D. And I am a semicolon man. First I type them in Lua, then I
leave them out in D!
