+1 from me. Limited C compatibility is one thing, but why should everything in
D look like C? Although I've written more code in C/C++ than any other
language, I haven't enjoyed it for many years now. I want a language that makes
me more productive, and I often use small functions (many of which return void
regardless of the expression type, btw, so that should be allowed.)

On the other hand, a lot of the small functions I write are boilerplate such as
property getters and forwarding functions in decorators, so maybe instead of a
special lambda syntax, what I really want is a few metaprograms to write those
functions for me.
