i think D module base system is fine wished some other lang had the same you can avoid circular import ref.

dry? well he can easily turn that into a generic config static factory which its look like hes trying to do.

D is totally different from C++ in D you usually you wont construct the struct directly use alias as.

I used to want this feature too, but i then got hit by a bug when i reordered the fields in the struct.. i don't want to deal with that stuff anymore

But we now have named arguments, so this feature could be make use of it, it's similar with enums, perhaps one day this could be revived:

https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/e2ca557ab9d3e60305a37da0d5b58299e0a9de0e/DIPs/DIP1044.md

There is even a working implementation: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/14650

I should note that it only took me 1 project to never want to touch C++ again.. that must be telling something, either about the language, or me, or both lol

D language used to have no copy constructor, isn't it now added in again?

You have to admit the good aspects of C++.
You should take a look at the latest C++. C++ has already learned many advantages of D, but D has not made significant progress!
As a user, C++ is really not much different from D, and even surpasses D in many aspects.
RAII , variable parameter template, coroutine, concept, value semantics, very easy to understand.
Moreover, the inheritance of C++ is very enjoyable to use in many aspects.

Sounds like you should be using C++. Why are you here?

Stop being unconventional and quickly copy their good things.
Otherwise, the development speed of the D language is really too slow!

i mean there some truth but all look at this way
rust has new or default to construct
python ? can lead to garbage
d from alias as
etc...
