That will be highly appreciated.
Is there anything we could do to help you?

Can I buy you a coffee/pizza/beer/scotch/.. ?

I am a bit late to this party :) but after reading all 29 pages of it I would say most of it is said except this one thing:

I hate language constructs that go in opposite order from my thoughts making me type something then having to navigate back to add another thing. Best example for this is casting in any language. I always have to write cast operator before the thing I am casting yet in my head I never think "then I need to cast to int the variable X that I want to add". I think more like "Then I need to add variable X but I have to cast it to int".

This is unfortunately true. This is pervasive in D and by far the biggest practical problem with it.

```
alias reversed = retro;
```

Problem solved :)
