After some consideration, I now have the following things, which I wish that D would have them built-in: - scope arrays: like static arrays, but you can init them at runtime with constant and non-constant expressions and they are resizeable if you have to. They will (so far) allocated on the heap and will released at the end of the lifetime of the scope. Furthermore you _can_ reserve memory, but by default the length and the capacity of the array are equal. Means: you don't pay (by default) for memory which you don't need. Syntax idea: 'scope int[5] arr;' and 'scope int[some_runtime_int] arr;' - lazy const: Just a spontaneous idea: I have often variables, which aren't initialize in the CTor, but they are initialized only once, and then they should be constant. That isn't possible yet. Therefore I whish something like: lazy const var; - And of course: not-null references. There is not much to say. Current syntax idea comes from C++: Foo& f = other_f;

So what do you mean about these ideas? And if you like one, what do you mean about the syntax?
