Andrei Alexandrescu:
I'd much rather make non-breaking improvements to the
language, as there are plenty of opportunities.
Three improvements I'd like for D:
- A not ugly and handy syntax for tuples;
- Optionally strongly typed array indexes;
- "enum preconditions" or something similar.
The first helps me write functional code without doing
contortions. The second is something I miss from Delphi/Ada and
helps write medium integrity code with more safety. The third
avoids some run-time bugs.
Bye,
