At the gsoc I was using something like this:
a better (simplified) C++:

an error
- easy to link C, partially possible to use C++ libs (no template
instantiation)
- single inheritance + interfaces (and

Many languages come with a built-in religion. That religion drives the
design of those languages towards particular goals or particular ways
of achieving goals.
D doesn't have a religion. D is an atheistic language. It's aware,
that many goals have nothing in common and that they gave their own

Of course, D was built from C++'s merits and demerits, but it's not a

I think combining straight-forward uncomprimised support for both
bare-metal access AND very high-level constructs is the thing, that no
other language has dome before and D has a great shot at this.
Personally, i think it needs more high-level construct support, like
