Andrei Alexandrescu:
What say you?
It's an interesting proposal, and I like it in general.
In D the C++-improved template system and the Java-copied OOP are
partially a duplication, they sometimes offer two different ways
to do similar things. I think this proposal reduces this
duplication a bit.
This whole discussion comes mostly from fixing an old Bugzilla
bug. What other important bugs are open that risk requiring
significant changes in D? I suggest to look for such breaking bug
fixes asap, instead of waiting 2+ more years to find some bug
that requires more important D changes to be fixed :-)
Bye,
