Andrei Alexandrescu:
What say you?
It's an interesting proposal, and I like it in general.
In D the C++-improved template system and the Java-copied OOP are partially
a duplication, they sometimes offer two different ways to do similar
things. I think this proposal reduces this duplication a bit.
This whole discussion comes mostly from fixing an old Bugzilla bug. What
other important bugs are open that risk requiring significant changes in D?
I suggest to look for such breaking bug fixes asap, instead of waiting 2+
more years to find some bug that requires more important D changes to be
fixed :-)
Bye,

Specially because not all breaking changes are possible, otherwise one
has something like Python 3. Which is a very good improvement, but leads
to resistance to upgrade.
On the other hand, these type of continuous changes lead to FUD about D
not being stable and usable for projects.
So I guess a kind of balance needs to be achieved.
