LLVM as back-end for a Haskell compiler:

So LLVM developers are probably open for changes, for example for patches for
LLVM that implement custom calling conventions used by D, etc.

Python is strictly typed, so you can't sum None with an int.

There have been lots of discussions about removing language parts.
I don't want this thread to become yet another one.
I just want to know if (and when) these features will be removed or not.
Especially typedef, which I found quite useful lately.

I meant, Python is not a silver bullet and its abstraction of first and last
indexes leaks (you like it, don't you?)
And this should go into docs.

What do you think about the the syntax x.typeof instead of typeof(x) ?
There are situations where you will need to parenthesize anyway, for example:

void main() {
int x = 1;
float y = 1.5;
writeln(typeid(typeof(x + y)));
}
You have to write:

Would anyone be interested in taking on the task of looking at the existing
samples and modernizing them? Some should likely be junked as not terribly
educational examples. Likely more should be added to illustrate other best
practices.
