(BTW, there's a way to do it without the CTFE fix. One can use
the approach I've always used in the past for C, which is
write a separate program to generate the tables. This was used
in the DMD build, and was gradually replaced with CTFE. It
still exists in the backend, which is still in C++.)
Right, but then there's no reason to use D.
Of course there is. It's called "all the other million things D
does better than C++ besides CTFE pow".
When D undermine's its own proposed usefulness, it loses
against C++ every time, no competition.
Not when it's isolated examples instead of the language as a
whole. It's not D's fault programmers are terrible at basic
cost/benefit analysis.
