You're conflating CTFE with the other meta programming tools here. CTFE is the same language as run-time D, but it doesn't have strange template syntax. Templates, static if, __traits, etc. have strange syntax, but they're sort of a different language already.

See my example in the other post. IMO what I want to achieve is a very simple example but the implementation I came up with is far from being simple.

Are you maybe wishing for a nicer alternative to templates, etc?

No, my point is that CTFE and meta-programming seems to be much simpler and powerful if I can use a more functional programming approach for it. Working with powerful lists and data = code and code = data concept would simplify this.
