For immutability support, of all things: http://blogs.unity3d.com/2015/06/02/how-we-do-fast-and-efficient-yaml-merging/

Seems someone over there is a D fan.

D's immutable, pure, etc are among the 'killer features' of D, in my opinion. IIRC Carmack wrote an article about this and heavily referenced D throughout on how D got it right.

I think I remember Jonas posting on this NG regularly, thus it is hardly surprising. Didn't know he is affiliated with Unity though.

I would say he *heavily* references D, but he does mention it in a blog post he wrote:

"It seems like there is a sound case for a pure keyword in future C/C++ standards.  There are close parallels with const – an optional qualifier that allows compile time checking of programmer intention and will never hurt, and could often help, code generation.  The D programming language does offer a pure keyword:  http://www.d-programming-language.org/function.html  Note their distinction between weak and strong purity – you need to also have const input references and pointers to be strongly pure."
