yes. I have to agree here. Rust is really the only contender at 
the moment.

D's 'incrementing C by 1', was never going to be enough :-(

But D4.. or .. D10... could be different.

But I doubt it will be.

In the meantime, pls everyone, write @safe: at the beggining of 
your module, and then you'll have no choice, but to explicately 
choose unsafe mode 'manually'

(as opposed to an unsafe environment being presented to you, by 
default).

If you can't choose to be safe, at least choose to be unsafe ;-)
