How so? By telling people you can express C++:
void cpy(char *dst, const char *src, size_t size)
{
for (size_t i; i < size; ++i)
dst[i] = src[i];
}
elegantly and safe like this in D:
void cpy(void[] dst, void[] src) { dst[] = src[]; }
unless they are using betterC (undefined reference to
'_d_arraycopy')? Just to highlight one lost language feature.
