You can. In either C# or D language it could execute arbitrary code that you better know what it's supposed to do. D simply doesn't make it "bad style" as C# stupidly does.

still not getting it, are you...

Just forget it, I think this is a lost cause, I keep making the same points over and over again, and you keep not reading them.

I do read them and understand them. I mean, it's not rocket surgery. At the end of the day you say "x = a.b;" looks more like sheer access because that's what happens for fields already. Then you say "a.b()" in any context looks more like an action because it's clear that there's a function call involved. But your arguments are not convincing to me, and in turn I explained why. What would you do if you were me?

Andrei

You should just accept what others want *although* you don't agree...

Steve's arguments are very good and convincing, and unfortunately somehow you don't get them. And I don't see your arguments being superior at all.

Sorry for thread hijacking, but such discussions make me want not to use D any more... I am writing because I still have some hope...

Maybe community should decide in poll who's arguments are better?
