Well, khm, I suppose it was my message.

Nemerle developers also have possibility to write in Python-like syntax in mind:
http://nemerle.org/Open_projects#Python-like_syntax_front-end

They estimate it to be fairly easy to integrate but of course if it is done it
will mean some kind of split among developers on a style basis.
So maybe to stick with a single syntax is better for the sake of consistency
and code exchange.
 

P.S. I don't think we should discuss it further here because it's D forum after
all.
