Every new programming language must help solving problems and writing code simpler, IMO. This is what i felt the first time i wrote a D program. Currently D lose its magic, for me. Things like const/invariant and <"staic".dup> (copy on write) confusing me. This makes writing code not simpler. Some discussion in this NG are very academically. The main point should be "how to solve problems simple and short", IMHO. How you think about this?

I feel exactly like you. It's hard to explain why. All this syntactic
sugar just confuses me. Feature after feature, and a 1000 ways to do
everything.
