Daniel Davidson:
I am using Dart for code generation but would like to consider
D if I can find a convenient replacement for the following
declarative style:
Replacing Dart with D seems quite strange, such two languages
have so much different usage niches.
var dateRange = struct('date_range')
..doc = 'Basic pair of start and end dates'
..unitTest = true
..publicSection = true
..members = [
member('start_date')
..type = 'Date',
member('end_date')
..type = 'Date',
];
A similar syntax is not allowed in D, but there are two things
that help for this: the C-style initialization of structs, that
support field names too, and the with(){} statement.
Bye,
