Probably the best thing to do is

for(;;) is a special case with no real benefit IMHO. It's a loop whose
condition is implicitly true rather than actually having a condition
in it.

I agree. Also, this page (http://dlang.org/dmd-osx.html) says that the
base requirement is a 32 bit OSX. Why is the DMD version that is
released 64 bit? That seems very counter intuitive.
Technically you can run 64bit applications on 32bit OS X if you

No, normal exceptions print just fine. e.g.
writeln(new Exception(abc));
I'm wondering what's wrong the one I defined, the error message seems to
indicate that it doesn't have toString. It's wrong as there is one
derived from Exception.

String mixins? Auto-completion? I dunno, that sounds like a stretch to

string generateCode() {
string code = int x=;

What say you to that, Walter?
Apple have committed to pervasive ARC, which you consistently argue is
not feasible...
Have I missed something, or is this a demonstration that it is
actually practical?
I think Swift is only intended for high

Note that Swift seems to not do exceptions (I may be wrong, again, I
know little about Swift), which is one way to avoid that problem.
It does not support exceptions.

Does D have a mature and cross-platform GUI library?
I would recommend DWT [1], although it currently doesn't work on OS X
(I'm working on that).

I think D used to have this in the form of the 'final' storage class for
variables. I'm not sure why we got rid of it.
If I recall correctly it was also how const worked in D1.

C# is getting the same syntax, and I remember there being some
discussion about it here. It's somewhat useful I suppose, though I think
it's made significantly more useful in C# with 'a ?? b' (a if a is not
null, else b).
And a ??= b, assigne b to a, only if

On a related topic:
Feature like this is extremely convenient for unit tests. However using
assertions in unit test blocks does not fit well with any custom test
runner that does not immediately terminate the application (because
AssertionError is an Error).
