D1 isn't going to get enhancements.

This seems more of a "why do this" rather than "why not" ? Is C# doing it really a compelling case?

> Is C# doing it really a compelling case?

Generally C# is a well designed languages. But in this case it's not a matter of copying C#.

In D I often have had to write:

(new Foo()).bar()

But that's not nice, because in D you are used to use UFCS:

new Foo().bar()

So it's not a big thing, but (unless it clashes with something else I am unaware of) it's a nice little improvement to have.

In my opinion it is exactly the other way round. The "why not" question people actually ask. Note that this has been requested independently at least 5 times, and it has come up a few times on D.learn as well IIRC.

It lifts an arbitrary restriction and is very cheap. (Move a few lines of parser code somewhere else.)

> Is C# doing it really a compelling case?

No. But I do not think C# programmers ask "why do this".

An even better syntax is to allow new to act as a static method, that allows a fully UFCS syntax:

class Foo {
    void bar() {}
}
Foo().new.bar();
Foo f = Foo.new;

`c.new N().foo();` is already a valid syntex as Kenji Hara mentioned in pull
discussion so I don't see any reasons to not merge implementing pull as current
situation doesn't look consistent.
