Verbosity in D

[pascal111]

It's clear by working with D that it has the same bad point like 
Pascal language; the "verbosity". Is there any plans in future to 
make some shorthanded techniques that clean verbosity from D?

Quote: "In terms of functionality, Pascal is pretty much exactly 
the same as C, except with some sanity-conserving restrictions on 
one hand, and more verbose syntax on the other. It was an okay 
language for the time when it was popular, and I would give it 
kudos just for having the common sense to make the assignment 
operator := instead of =, and not allowing it to be chained, but 
verbosity back then was still something to be avoided if 
possible, so C was naturally seen as superior."
