4. It doesn't have a simple prettyprint operator. I think .stringof is a
big step forward from .ToString() for simplicity, but obviously
$variable would be more terse.
.stringof is not the equivalent to .ToString(). .stringof is more of a
compile time language feature. It turns an expression into a string:
import std.stdio;
void main ()
{
string foo = "bar";
writeln(foo.stringof);
writeln((3 + 4).stringof);
}
The above code will print:
foo
3 + 4
The equivalent to .ToString() in D would be .toString() or
to!(string)(variable).
5. It doesn't have a way to iterate over every id in scope.
I can't think of a good reason to do this anyway.
There could be a couple of reasons for doing this. For example creating
a DSL.
