Interesting talk. When watching the examples regarding the deficiencies with anonymous instances, I asked myself the question "How would I write similar examples in D, and would they have some of the same deficiencies?"

I think, for the most part, D avoids many of the problems with its more advance language constructs (delegates, scope, with, etc). With the mixin statements, it is possible to write closures, but required use of strings makes it non-ideal.
