The future of UDAs.

[Gor Gyolchanyan]

When I first read about D's CTFE capabilities, I imagined a full-fledged
computing environment both at compile-time and at run-time. I thought the
aim was to provide a language which can compile into its own source code,
which in turn can compile into a binary. Right now I understand, that it's
not the case. I certainly have no right to complain, so all I can say is
that I had too high hopes. Despite a few broken hopes, D remain the #1
champion among languages.
