This sort of work would - along with other ideas such as
physical units etc. - be best placed in a lightweight DSL
(domain specific language) that simply hides the necessary
mixins etc.
D lends itself to this wonderfully, it would make for a very
nice mathematical/scientific language. I'm almost tempted to
make such a language myself. Integrated with SciD.... ?? Hmmm,
I feel a project coming on.
This could be a very interesting project. What do you think of
Go's rules for inserting semi-colons? This and a few other tweaks
(perhaps some of the parens removal too?) could allow a very
elegant and minimal form of D, a subset with slightly stricter
layout rules rather than a new language.
