However, I haven't watched that video and anyway am not sure how important CTFE would be to this effort. Anyway, D has things like dfix, dfmt, dscanner, dcd, dustmite, digger. I think there was some discussion about including these along with compilers. I recall some comparison to gofmt which will format go code. Maybe that was in Blow's talk...

In language tooling
Watched a video on Jonathan Blow's language that he's developing, and he has a pretty neat idea of having tools being part of the language. Looking at the first 15 minutes(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHZwYYW9koI) or so of the video, is this something that could be accomplished in D with CTFE? I think he makes a decent case for whether or not it'd be useful.
