OK, let's forget big integer literals for now :-)

I agree that there are bigger fishes to talk about. For example  I may like some things present in Delight, like especially this one (already discussed in the past, of course):
http://delight.sourceforge.net/null.html

Smaller things in Delight:

Good to have:
- An important difference between D and Delight is that a Delight array is considered true if and only if its length is non-zero:

I like:
- Also, D allows null to be used to mean an empty array. In Delight, you can only use [].

Improvements in the imports:
- Import all symbols into our namespace:
import example.utils: *
- Import a module, accessed by its full name:
import dlt.io
void sayHi(dlt.io.Printer p): ...
