does D already have too many language features ?

It looks like

In C right? Which seems like a simple syntax to me.
(Or is that actually a cast?)

On the note of casts, as I forgot to add this earlier.
I'm slightly confused as to why dlang chose to use 'cast(Type)' 
instead of '(Type)', but even more confused why dlang has no 
'reinterp(Type)' (for as far as i know), instead requiring to use 
'*cast(Type*)&var' (iirc).
