According to the doc page:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/lazy-evaluation.html
you (and/or Tomasz Stachowiak) were the one who suggested it in the
first place. How'd it go for you? :)
In haskell land they love lazy evaluation. Lazy evaluation can have many
advantages but depending on the situation can be wrote using alternates
that d provides:
mixins -- allows turning a string into expression at a later time
delegates -- only called when used explicitly
logical ('&&' and '||') operators already only evaluate what is needed
If it stays though I would prefer a different syntax so where we already
have:
char[] delegate() dg
char[] function() fp
then something like this would be more consistent and intuitive:
char[] expression exp
rather than the current:
lazy char[] exp
