Re: D seems interesting, but...

foobar:

I'm sorry to say but that *is* a _horrible_ _hack_. It looks 
almost as awful as it does in python with the underscores.

Java has the correct DRY solution - each class can define a 
static main method but the compiler only uses the one specified 
by a compiler switch.
The above basically asks the programmer to endlessly repeat the 
same trivial implementation boilerplate that should be written 
just once _in_ the compiler.

What I have suggested is the simplest (requires less stuff to be 
implemented) way to solve the problem, adding just a single 
compile time constant. But I agree there are better ways to solve 
the same problem. I am asking for a specific way to solve this 
problem, but since some years I'd like some "good enough" way to 
solve it.
