Hello,

A response to the "static if" proposal for C++ was made recently which was a rather severe critique. Has there been a response to this critique or are the conclusions of the article generally considered to be justified? I shall be attending the ACCU meeting this April and would like to raise the matter, but would first like to know the comments of those working on and with D.

Thank you,
Dominic Jones

It has been discussed quite extensively recently : http://forum.dlang.org/thread/cdgzdesltjefjvnjbspk@forum.dlang.org

There are plenty of opinions from D users in that topic ;)

As I understand, they just asked to not rush with static if and give them time to come up with an alternative proposal.
