What? I thought immutable was already quite complex.

Everyone knows that D is full of half-baked ideas. We're not using D 
because it's a beautiful or elegant language - we use it because it 
makes life easier. Slices and arrays are half-baked, but they are much 
simpler and easier to use than corresponding C/C++ solutions. We're also 
using D because it's so C/C++ like. D is to C what C++ should have been 
to C. Other than that, there are already languages, which could have 
taken D's job: Delphi-Pascal, Ada, Modula...

If D stops making life easier, it will be the death of D.
