He want go-semantics. It also means that literals are untyped 
until bound, so you can do high precision calculations at compile 
time.

I would also like to see these explicit conversions (and find 
hacks like "alias this" somewhat annoying).

I also think arithmetics on ubytes should be done as ubytes etc 
to allow SIMD vectorization.

Go semantics is described well here:
