Understanding and new language feature proposal

[Sumit Adhikari]

This is a great syntax and I am doing this :p.

But there are many many many many issues associated with this (I 
mentioned that I wanted them natively, templates are problems). 
The library needed a significant coding and still to match with 
immutable, support from phobos - it is tough.....

C++ also has some of these implementation (SystemC) - but that 
did not made it acceptable to embedded systems programmer. Again 
a library will not allow me to extract last drop from my HW - for 
every library and everybody :). The internal implementation of 
these libraries are memory hungry and not embedded systems 
friendly.

Regards, Sumit
