Yea. I've still never used Nemerle (never liked the idea of being 
constrained to a VM), but ever since I came across it I've been a huge fan 
of it's patten matching and, to a slightly lesser extent, it's macros too. 
So much so, in fact, that it's been really tempting to try using it for a 
few things instead of D despite the VM ball-and-chain. Seeing Nemerle's 
pattern matching added to D would make me an incredibly happy D user.
