That was a really good blog post, however I am strongly against 
the following sentence:

"I think there’s a general consensus that @safe, pure and 
immutable should be default."

It's not at all a general consensus and doing this would 
literally break all the existing D code. Without discussing all 
the technical aspects, this will severely impact the adoption 
rate of D because it will make it very complicated for people 
coming from a C/C++/Java background to accommodate with the 
language. In addition, this is completely against D's liberal 
philosophy where you can program however you want.
