Thanks. I hope that in the near future will be a powerful D

Don't expect too much enthusiasm about adding macros.
Perhaps you're right.
- D already has very good metaprogramming capabilities and most
stuff
macros can do, can already be achieved using string mixins
- Macros in Scala turned out very complex (not sure about
std.meta).
- DSLs can fracture the community

In my opinion, should not be afraid to include language in
anything complicated. I think that the complex and powerful
things can help D to become even better.
Might be a approach to write a good, fast, and CTFEable parsing
library for.
It would be nice.
