I like many ideas of the language but there are some
show-stoppers for me.
For example the fact that you have to define things in order.
I shouldn't
have to deal with that in this day and age.
Nimrod is full of constructs that have inlining semantics and as
such declaration order matters quite a bit. The D compiler
has/had bugs with this feature for a reason. ;-)
I'm considering to weaken the requirement but I don't mind this
feature: Having the order reflect the call graph has its
advantages too. Many consider the resulting order *backwards*,
but at least there is *an* order.
