There's lots of discussions/comparisons with how rust solves various issues.

I'm thinking Nim is sometimes a better source of inspiration.

Thoughts?

It's been a while since we implemented this and dealt with the fallout. I still like the design much better than D's or C++'s but there seems to be an even better design that is both simpler (to implement) and allows for more optimizations. I don't want to go into more details here though. I hope you'll be able to read about them in my upcoming book(s).

Oh, didn't know there was going to be a book on Nim (hopefully) soon :D

Other than Nim in Action, I simply haven't seen any traditional books on Nim, so I'll be looking forward to this

Any estimate about possible release date(s)?

I don't know the Nim Language. But there is a new perspective on the concept of const. Although the const attribute in D is a bit confusing, D is a more powerful language anyway.
