IMO, part of the problem is that D has the wrong defaults (e.g.
`immutable` by default, `@safe` by default, `final` by default,
etc...), so users have to opt in to these things when they should
really only be opting out of them. Unfortunately, changing this would
be disruptive and will probably never happen without a fork.
If/when D 3.0 happens, as a breaking change, hopefully the defaults can
be made to be better right defaults. (D 1.x to D 2.x had *cough* some
breaking changes.)
I also hope that for D 3.0, both Walter and Andrei play with F# or OCaml
for a while. There's a lot of Good Things in F# and OCaml that perhaps
could be considered for D 3.0.
Like signatures which I'm working on!
