:-) That is pretty much what I had in mind! Awesome! I would love to help with this. I would start with some writing down of my ideas and concepts I have in mind, if you are interested? If you are, where should we discuss such things? On this mailing list? > > I will replace the Ruby code with D. As the ultimate goal of my idea was to establish D as a compiled language with all/most of the benefits of interpreted languages, it would seem strange if the tool that made this possible was not written in D. It would suggest that this was not possible in the first place. So I think this is a good idea. Concise definitions could be made possible, either by importing stuff in an appropriate environment as Andrei suggested or if needed even via a DSL, with string mixin's. So I think D already offers all we need, for good concise configuration files? Best regards, Robert
