Walter:
What's your list?
This thread now has something like 240 answers (and probably
few
more will come), and despite some variability in the answers,
we
have seen several recurring patterns too. So what are the
conclusions, take-home insights, and the to-do's to make
something in practice, from Walter& Andrei?
Honestly, I don't think that you _can_ take much from this
thread other than
the fact that pretty _every_ feature is wanted and used by
someone, even if
other people hate it. Pretty much every feature listed as
undesirable by
someone was listed as desirable by someone else.
foreach_reverse, comma operator, etc.
These are the only two I can count that nobody felt eager to
keep. Yet these are only nitpicks. Also, both work, so the
benefit of removing them vs breaking code... I would be glad to
remove the current comma operator if its semantic was changed for
something like this:
http://forum.dlang.org/post/ajdmseliewbindkko...@forum.dlang.org
But I don't think it's on the table.
So I believe the conclusion several of us have reached is, that
it's more important to make things that already exist work as
intended without ugly corner cases and hacks.
