I can confirm that. I was never able to grok even easy metaprogramming with
templates in D until I learned a little Lisp. The whole first chapter of
SICP (all the examples and excersises) can be translated to metaprograms
directly, and they look like lisp too. I think it is the static if / else
and alias (template template) parameters which make this so easy.
