As opposed to the fascist intransigence of the Python interpreter 
with its ridiculous indent-mania. Maybe you are only referring to 
static vs. dynamic typing. Be it a compiler or an interpreter, 
they are all inherently stubborn and fond of rules.

A D program can be written with the same ease as a Python 
program. It's up to the user to make it fancy or straight 
forward. I like the freedom of choice that ships with D.
