It's not quite as bad as all that. It works reasonably well in Java and C# and for the most part isn't a big deal, but for D, init already solves the larger problem of variables with garbage values, and adding forced initializations on top of that definitely isn't worth it - especially when it requires flow control and can give false positives at times. I don't think that there's much question that Java and C#'s solution is better than the lack of one in C/C++. But D already has a solution and does not Java and C#'s on top of it. - Jonathan M Davis
