Phobos code was legendary for being a standard library that

tried reading the source code for Glibc, or the standard

what I mean.) It was exemplary of how D code ought to be
written. It probably still is today to some extent, though
sadly over the years it has fallen into the mud and come out
hairy on multiple occasions, so it ain't as pretty as it used
to be anymore.)

*loud silence*
Its probably time to raise some standards
Is it time to consider D 3.x.x, that takes the best of D,
discards the mistakes, the mud and the hair, so most well
written D 2.x.x programs still work?
Your welcome in to come to opend
Should it learn lessons from Rust
God no
Should D follow Gleam, an Erlang variant in having functional
programming with pattern matching, deconstruction, etc?
Templates are fundamentally compile time, memoized, pattern
matching
Full pattern matching no, I want partial `value` pattern matching
tho
And take from Zig multiple ways to allocate memory?
That would be one of the allocation extremist factions I
mentioned and honestly the one that has walters ear most.
