Glad to announce D 2.096.0, ♥ to the 54 contributors. This release comes with improved ABI compatibility for complex types, clarified copy constructor and postblit interaction, optional libunwind based backtraces, runtime-allocated global synchronized mutexes, and a preview for shortened lambda-style function definitions. http://dlang.org/download.html http://dlang.org/changelog/2.096.0.html -Martin |

Allow shortened function implementations for single-expresssion functions.
-preview=shortenedMethods is added. This allows functions to be written in a similar form to lambda functions:
// these 2 are equivalent
int foo() { return 1; }
int foo() => 1;
The syntax allows the form => expr to replace the function body { return expr; }
Amazing! I had no idea this got in. I love the syntax.

I had no idea this got in. I love the syntax. Yeah, c# added this syntax awhile back and is nice to use at times, usually because I stumble on the property syntax. https://www.google.com/amp/s/csharp.christiannagel.com/2017/01/25/expressionbodiedmembers/amp/ |

It's pretty neat, but a DIP has to be drafted and approved for it to be enabled by default, right? (Unless I missed it.)

Correct. To be completely honest it shouldn't have ever been merged since there was no approval from WalTila and they steer the language.

I raised a similar concern before with something else (don't remember what it was), but apparently things can be merged without W&A's approval if they're behind a switch (in the opinion of at least some of the core maintainers, at least).

Yeah, iirc preview switches can be added without a DIP because it's not a part of the language per se. It's probably a reasonable approach, because otherwise you would get a multitude of forks instead.
