I agree that D, too, can be a bit confusing. I sometimes have
problems with AA declarations.
Example:
string[string][string] hm; // What am I?
string[string][string] hm;
The result is a string, obtained through associative array with
key string, obtained through associative array with key string
which is located at hm.
How about something *ridiculous* in right-to-left reading:
rofl *[string][]*bool;
bool*[][string]* rofl;
The result is bool, through a pointer, stored in an array,
obtained through associative array with key of string, stored
in array, and all pointeded to from a location rofl.
For the record, this is the idea behind the Go's declaration
syntax:

I liked their idea about declaring left-to-right, but using
right-to-left (that is the distinction between type syntax and
expression syntax). Shame that they didn't make the right choice
for the pointer syntax.
