You see, this is the kind of argument that I find very damaging
to the conversation. It lacks any shred of material evidence,
evokes emotion, manipulates the reader's opinion (framing them
into incompetent/inexperienced if they disagree), and implies
an appeal to authority. Please don't do that anymore.
Let me rephrase that in a proper way.
Functional style is very painful right now. Function you pass as
argument are executed implicitly, function as variable don't
behave like native ones, and with the new proposal, it add
confusion on the function returned.
It is kind of dumb that D do not promote functional style as it
has shown to solve many problems that arise right now.
