Scala has this and find it indispensable for functional and/or
immutable programming. Yes, I have been programming with Scala
a lot
lately. It has a lot of problem but it has some really cool
constructs
like the one above. Scala also has pattern matching and
structural
typing but that may be asking too much ;).
I am not sure what it would take to implement this in D but I am
thinking we need the concept of a void type (Unit in scala).
Thoughts?
What am i missing?
I can't see the difference between that and "static if".
static if (boolean condition)
{
// initialize based on boolean condition being true
immutable variable = ...
}
else
{
// initialize based on boolean condition being false
immutable variable = ...
}
