Yes (e.g. when I see the commas my mind starts running in all directions
because that's valid code nowadays that ignores v1 and v2 and keeps v3
as an lvalue).
Who uses that, except code generators? I'd like D to deprecate the comma
so it can be used for other things, like tuple assignment.
Let me put it another way: I don't see one syntax over another a deal
maker or deal breaker. At all.
Well, it's sad that syntax is not very important in D. If you have to
write less code there will be less chance for bugs and it will be more
understandable (unless you obfuscate the code, obviously).
Here's what you can do in Ruby:
a = 1
b = 2
# Swap the contents
a, b = b, a
Can you do something like that with templates in D, with a nice syntax?
