You still have all of D's compile-time magic, which I miss every time I need to do embedded programming. You still have the simple syntax improvement. I would love to be able to do away with the preprocessor and stupidly_long_method_names_because_of_no_overloading_or_method_syntax. > So what does D- bring to the table, besides fragmenting the community?
