Delight Programming Language

[Peter Plantinga]

The D programming language is great, and it is starting to get 
the recognition it deserves. I've seen it reach the top 20 in 
many different measures of language popularity.

What it is though, is a systems language. Of course it has many 
features of a higher-level language, which is what makes it 
great. But I've had an idea for another language, a high-level 
language, that is nearly as fast as a similar D program.

What it looks like is a D preprocessor that translates 
Python-like code into D code. It was done before, and the result 
was called Delight. I'm reviving this idea (though with entirely 
new code, since the previous version was with D1).

A short list of the best features (that aren't already a part of 
D):

* Python-like syntax
* List comprehensions
* "0 .. x" works everywhere, as I would expect it to

If you're interested, check it out at 
http://github.com/pplantinga/delight. I need people to break it 
and argue about design decisions.
