Right, now you want to add Python features to D. Why don't you
design your own language instead ?

Is this useful to make the GC precise regarding the stack too?

Maybe you should mention to them Julia. It's quite a good

Adam starts with Ada !
In the Rust based provocation thread, I think Adam Ruppe's work
went largely overlooked. He basically created a minimal D that
runs on bare metal, proving thus that D can be used fruitfully on
small embedded devices in place of C.
