Maybe I'll seem bitter, but I do not think this changement was
really
that important. This is nice, ok, but we have some other
really serious
flaw, like shared not doing what it is supposed to do.
You seem bitter :-)
Seriously though, it's a fair point, but the syntax of lambdas
is fairly important and this appears to be a simple change so
the cost/benefit ratio is particularly high in this case.
This. You can let people play around with it, test it and provide
feedback with just a small patch.
And it is indeed very important. It's one of the few syntax woes
we have to deal with in D, it would be a shame to let the
benefits of std.algorithm and any other functional D code be
overshadowed by the powerful but often excessive syntax of
anonymous functions.
It's important when presenting D to initiates that high-level
code looks nice.
