Hi NX,
Thanks for the document. A lot of what you say about UDA and compile
time reflection is absolutely true. We should fix it so it isn't so
darn convoluted.
w/ regards to __traits() those are call outs to the compiler and
generally should not be used directly. Thus std.traits, and why they're
prefixed with __. Unfortunately, the current state of compile time
reflection requires that you must use __traits directly (at least, I've
had to)
However, I can't agree with you about alias this, UFCS, or global
functions in phobos. The "idiomatic" way to code in D is use local
named imports. e.g.:
void main() {
import std.stdio : writeln;
writeln("Hello world!");
}
-Shammah
It's not just an idiomatic way to code with local imports, it's a
compilation performance technique too.
