Do you have data that shows otherwise?
Nothing recent, it's mostly from my C++ compiler testing.
But you argued in your blog that C++ parsing is inherently slow, and
you've fixed those problems in the design of D.
And as far as I can tell, you were extremely successful!
Parsing in D is very, very fast.
Yes, it is designed so you could just import a symbol table. It is done
as source code, however, because it's trivial to implement.
It has those nasty side-effects listed under (3) though.
I don't think they're nasty or are side effects.
They are new problems which people ask for solutions for. And they are
far more difficult to solve than the original problem.
