for line in stdin.lines() {}if condition {} while condition {} for init; condition; op {} What's the rationale of keeping the requirement that the condition of if/for/while must be wrapped with a parenthesis (other than keeping parser simple)? Modern languages have already dropped this requirement (i.e. Rust, Nim) and I don't see any reason not to do so.
For the parentheses to be optional I think the curly brace need to be mandatory, or perhaps force a newline after the condition. I don't see how this would be any better. You're trading one set of required punctuational characters for another set. This would also take D one step further away from the C family of languages.
