We do it anyway though, it's just terrible.
How will it cause any harm to anybody? I hate this idea that something
has shown to be sorely missed for so long, and we still can't
reconsider it because some moron out there might write bad code?
D almost exclusively attracts power-users, who have unbelievably
complex software to get on with. Tools are good, especially tools like
this which only make a shitty piece of existing language much cleaner
and simpler to reason about.
