Anyone want to do the reddit honors?
Great article. The only point I would raise is the choice of inout as a
keyword for this.
This make no sens whatsoever. Here is why :
- inout did exist in D1 and is different.
- in and out qualifier already exists and have nothing to do with inout.
- in and out are used for contracts and have nothing to do with inout.
- the inout term has nothing to do with const/immutable/mutable. This is
in a totally different lexical field.
Another keyword should be choosen. vconst, as suggested here :
http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?LanguageDevel/DIPs/DIP2 is way more
appropriate.
On external details, but still important, I face the need of inout few
days ago and did knew about it. The documentation on const/immutable (
http://www.d-programming-language.org/const3.html ) doesn't mention it.
The page on fucntion mention it, but it would be nice to have at least a
link on the const/immutable page.
auto fun(return(type) a, ...)
return(T) fun(return(S) a, ...)
