A friend of mine ask me why D's foreach isn't like C#
In D you often omit the type:
foreach (val; arr) {
Using "in" is better for the human programmers.
Certainly not. (except if 'human' means 'python' or 'C#'.)
It is just as good as ';'.
But D is largely
designed to make D compilers too happy. I think Walter said that the
semicolon was preferred because it simplifies the compiler/compilation a
little.
It does not. Parsing the statements just about the same. In fact, only
2 lines in the DMD parser implementation need to be changed (slightly!)
to implement the 'in' syntax instead.
