A quotation from Reddit

A quotation from a little comment I've found on Reddit:

>Finally, by the time you have implemented reflection, introspection, a decent plugin system and meta objects in your C++ application you've inevitably Greenspunned yourself a dynamic language anyway. Why bother, when you can take Python off the shelf?<

I presume in large C++ programs those features are useful. A way to solve this problem is to give those features to D. An alternative solution is to make D very easy to interoperate with a dynamic language as Python/Lua/Ruby. A third way is intermediate, this means adding more static introspection to D, and allowing for an easy interfacing between D and a dynamic language. This third way may be the best.
