Sir,

So immutable is an alias of invariant?
D now has 3 keywords that have somewhat similar meaning: const invariant immutable.

Thx.

By popular demand, the invariant keyword was replaced with immutable. Invariant will eventually go away.

Better sooner than later. At least it would be nice if a deprecation warning is issued if invariant is used when immutable should go.

A couple typos:

// should be immutable int[3], no?
immutable table[3] x = [6, 123, 0x87];

// no type
__gshared x;

Good article. This is an exciting enhancment to an already exciting programming language.

Really shouldn't that be enum, unless you mysteriously needed to take the address of it?
