My solution to D const was pretty simple: Never use it :D
It makes things painfully to work with most of the time and I'm 
yet to see any real advantage over using it.
My main language after D is typescript and well, for something 
become const is really hard in it, so I find it pretty nice to 
doesn't use. Specially in the game development thing where 
mutability exists.


`pure` breaks logging in your function for debugging, `const` you 
need to specify it everywhere or else your thing won't compile. 
This is a great friction I get which I took the decision to just 
drop those.
