David Piepgrass:
Or how about:
auto area = {
auto tmp = foo.bar(baz);
tmp.width * tmp.height;
}
Rust is like that, but I don't see it as a significant
improvement.
I also wish "void" were a first-class type with sizeof==0 for
maximum efficiency:
int[void] intSet = [2:(), 3:(), 4:()]
I prefer:
auto intSet = hashSet([2, 3, 4]);
Ditto for size of empty structs.
There are reasons for D empty structs to be of 1 byte.
D code should never need abominations like the C++ EBCO.
In D classes are never really empty (2 words is their minimum
size, not counting GC bookkeeping), and there is no normal struct
inheritance.
