I can't possibly like any language where the type of a
variable could
change based on whether the condition in an if statement is
true
(because a variable gets assigned a completely different type
depending no the branch of the if statement).
auto func(alias condition)()
{
static if (condition())
int t;
else
float t;
return t;
}
;-)
But if you make a mistake it is very likely that you'll see it at
compile time, not runtime. Plus D has very explicit casting which
also helps.
