When I first started learning D I decided that a good way to learn it would be by porting a popular java api (mind, I didn't say intelligent), which came complete with a few cyclic dependencies. At the moment, I'm using GDC, and it refuses to swallow cyclic dependencies. The compiler doesn't complain, but it throws a runtime exception. I can break the dependency loops and GDC will work just fine, but what I'm wondering is whether it is standard that the dependency hierarchy be acyclic, or is this some quirk of GDC, or is it more likely that there is something weird going on in my java-to-D translation.
You can't use module constructors (static this) in modules that import each other.
