D comes 17th out of 28, so it's so-so for scripting.

was a great choice for a scripting language and everything below
wasn't. D hit where I expected, just good enough to use for scripting.
Perhaps a module std.scripting could help quite a lot, too.

I'm having trouble thinking of something that would go in this module
that wouldn't be a better fit somewhere else. What do you envision?
I thought of it for a bit, but couldn't come up with anything :o). I
think you're right!
Someone proposed to add something like
http://docs.python.org/library/fileinput.html to Phobos. I think it's a
good idea. We have all mechanics in place (byLine/byChunk, chain). So it
should be easy to define byLine to accept an array of filenames:
import std.stdio;
void main(string args[]) {
getopt(args, ...);
foreach (line; File.byLine(args[1 .. $]) {
...
}
}
I hypothetically made byLine a static method inside File to avoid
confusing beginners (one might think on first read that byLine goes line
by line through an array of strings).
Andrei
module std.script;
public import std.stdio, std.file, std.process, std.algorithm, ... etc
I use at least some of these for most of my programs/scripts. And
std.all is probably a bit too heavy.
std.script could basically fetch us enough stuff to be on par with
importless python.
