Yes.Ok.
What I like about the :symbol notation is, that a string witch
is used
only to distinguish between different objects in an Hash / AA
has a complete different
purpose than a string used to be displayed for the user.
I think that
writeln("Name", a[:name]); is easier to read, than
writeln("Name", a["name"]);
especially if the structures are getting bigger, or you are in
a vibe.d jade template string where you would have to use
additional quoting to write:
a(href="a[\"url\"]") a["link_text"]
a(href="a[:url]") a[:link_text]
May be I should get rid of this by using a struct for my mysql
results to display?
(=> a.url and a.link_text )
Just my 2 Cents :-)
If nested strings is what's bothering you, you can always use
backticks. Or opDispatch(though I don't recommend it, as it tends
to screw up compilation errors). But these won't let you have
fields with different types, and since Voldemort types are so
easy in D you are probably better off with structs.
