Bad things are waiting for you to forget a space:

x<-y        (x less-than (negate y)) becomes (x back-arrow y)
x<*ptr      (x less-than (dereference ptr)) becomes (x 
very-haskell-op ptr)


Even worse if you use C++:

MyStrangeTemplate<-5> x;      becomes ((MyStrangeTemplate 
back-arrow 5) greater-than x)


Some things are clearly designed for markup and functional-style 
languages and don't look that good on C-style ones. But apart 
from that, it is well-made. I may use it, but probably not for D.
