What would you rewrite in D?

Just asking out of curiosity. With all the great language features, I'm sure that many of you have thought about this. For me, I figured a good start would be your basic Unix/Linux/BSD utilities, like cat and grep. I figure it may make the code easier to read and maintain as well as potentia

I think you might get away with modifying Scite, not necessarily Scintilla. Since Scite is the one that takes care of indentation, folding, etc., maybe it can be modified to use elastic tabstops. Personally I find Scite's C++ codebase quite readable. (at least after a pass of the uncrustify code be

I would love to rewrite the copybyvalue and copybyreference schematics, to one, and then keep that one. I think its counter intuitive that the same syntax is used for both, and tbh, if everything was just copybyvalue, one would be able to use by reference, if they wanted to by explicitly declaring
