It's been a while since I've investigated the D language and I see that the syntax has been improved and the compiler implementation is maturing.  This is all very good. One question.  I could find nothing regarding reflection although I faintly remember it being part of Phobos at one time.  Has reflection been dumped?  If so, I would be greatly disappointed.

If by reflection you mean RTTI then no it's still there.  If you mean being able to determine properties and method names, then that has not been implemented.  Hear say -> heard someone say that Walter has said that he will improve RTTI, but I'm not sure if that's true.

For more on RTTI see the brief description I wrote:
