I am curious by the way, what do you think of the [][4]Row suggestion
I gave? In a way you'd have your 🍰 & could eat it too, i think ^^
(Still a strange saying to me)
Currently, D's variable declaration syntax is consistent and, IMO, make
sense:
Type Name | Extra Tokens | SymbolName
Foo * a;
Foo [4] b;
(Foo [4])[] c;
[][4]Foo is completely backwards from and inconsistent with the pointer
declaration syntax. We shouldn't want to intentionally introduce
inconsistencies.
Flip the pointer syntax, too:
*Foo a; /* a pointer to a Foo */
[4]Foo b; /* an array of four Foos */
[][4]Foo c; /* a dynamic array of arrays of four Foos each */
But now we're no longer C-like, I guess.
