He's not alone with his view. The automatic implicit porting of C code is an important feature - D should work even more like C than it does now. The syntax could also make use of a revamp, we have 'pure' and 'const' and so forth, in C those are __attribute__((pure)) and similar kind of conventions. The C approach saves keywords for actual code.
