I agree. It's hard

There are many applications for compile-time computation, this

A nice talk. Some comments on the slides:
Slide 34:
- If you know C++, you can write D code
- Similar enough, easy adaptation
- Slightly

I agree. It's hard to guess the size and signedness of types as byte, ubyte,
Walter Bright:
It would only be a trivial problem for 5 minutes, only for
ex-C/C++ programmers who are used to suffering under variable
sized ints, and will never be a problem again.
Is it really a problem to guess the size of 'byte'? Or that
'ubyte' is unsigned? Come on, bearophile!

I don't believe that!
New D programmer should not be need to learn such arbitrary naming scheme,
inherited from C++ :-)
It's also seen in other obscure languages like
