Walter:
What's your list?
This thread now has something like 240 answers (and probably few
more will come), and despite some variability in the answers, we
have seen several recurring patterns too. So what are the
conclusions, take-home insights, and the to-do's to make
something in practice, from Walter& Andrei?
Honestly, I don't think that you _can_ take much from this thread other than
the fact that pretty _every_ feature is wanted and used by someone, even if
other people hate it. Pretty much every feature listed as undesirable by
someone was listed as desirable by someone else.
foreach_reverse, comma operator, etc.
As for TODOs, the impression that I got from Walter's post was that he wanted
to know what people thought out of curiosity or just for "lessons learned"
from the design process of D and not that he was really looking to remove
anything from the language. So, I don't think that it was ever his intention
to create a TODO list from this (though I could be wrong). There may be some
minor things that get changed (such as making it so that adjacent string
literals don't get automatically concatenated), but I don't think that D is
really going to have any of its features removed at this point.
