Anyone have any other WATs you can do in other languages? Bonus points for WATs you can do in D.

I think there are no spectacular WATs in D, but I'll give it a try.

$ short s = -1;
$ s >>> 1

$ int[] a   = [];
$ int[][] b = [];
$ a ~ []
> []
$ b ~ []
> [[]]

$ const(int)[] a;
$ int[] b;
$ immutable(int)[] c;
$ typeof(a ~ b)
> int[]
$ typeof(a ~ c)
> int[]
$ typeof(a ~ a)
> const(int)[]

$ class A{}
$ class B : A{}
$ __traits(compiles, {A[] a = [new B];})
> true
$ __traits(compiles, {A[] a = [new A]~[new B];})
> false
$ __traits(compiles, {A[] a = [new A]; a~=[new B];});
> true


(BTW: We have an almost complete D interpreter. Why don't we have a REPL?)

I don't know of any for D but Stack Overflow had a great list that contained many of these.  The deletionists (which I thought we had successfully quarantined to Wikipedia) have gotten it deleted though.

I found a copy on Archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/20101221234152/http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1995113/strangest-language-feature

Good talk!
But with a mistake: there are 15 delimiters in 16 element array (printing/join result), not 16.

I think just about any WAT in D would be a compiler or library bug. Or this:

> typeof("a.obj")

Probably Windows-only:

void main()
{
    string a = "foo";
    "foo" = "bar";
    writeln(a);  // "foo"
    assert(a == "foo");  // failure
}

To give you a hint:

void main()
{
    "foo" = "bar";
    writeln("foo");
}

I think this is a bug. This causes a segmentation fault on Linux DMD 2.057. Plus, assigning a literal to a literal doesn't make sense...
