I think what Lone is saying is that there should be redundancy in the syntax of the language. Such redundancy will help pick up errors. If a language had no redundancy in it, then any string of random characters would be a valid program. Good language design balances the need for redundancy with orthogonality.

The problem is mitigated, as compared with C++, with D's much more restrictive notion of overloading. D doesn't have C++'s large number of levels of overloading. It has only 3: exact match, match with implict conversions, and no match. This makes such overloading errors far less likely in D.

Reviews cannot remedy weaknesses of languages. Have you herd of the error free approach to programming? Every piece of text was accepted and translated into some machine code. Would you like to review something like that?

So long.
