I am not sure that is necessary to have a symbol for begining ($
represents the length, not the end, right?).
Anyway, instead of $begin and $end, I would rather have: $$ and $ (or
vice-versa).
Thoughts?

Well, unfortunately, I've generally been in enough of a hurry when coding

out for it more and get small examples from that. Howeve

Hi,
May I ask you why are you planning to port an existing codebase to D?
What kind of benefits specifically(except comparable to C performance)
you expect from D?
Thank you.

Right, but dmd is using an optimizer and code generator that has been around for
25 years now. It's optimization is competent and reasonably advanced - the usual

Thank you for your answers.
At the moment D compilers aren't doing this, I think. (LDC performs an
optimization at link time). But it's nice that D leaves this optimization
opportunity to future D compilers.

At the moment performance (if compared to C++ code compiled with GCC or ICC) is
not a selling point of D.
