P 61: this is so hard to read that I don't want to see anything similar

such long chains: int c = (a = b, b = 7, 8);
I suppose this mostly explains why the real tuples aren't coming to D.
Both of the authors love the C/C++ style comma operator for "code
generation purposes" as you can see above. Another advantage is that your
time won't be wasted when you switch from D to C++ to do some real world
programming.
For what it's worth - I don't care much about the comma operator, and I
extremely strongly believe Walter's argument involving code generation
has no validity whatsoever.
The contrived example mentioned above is given as an illustration for
the section on the comma operator.
