Many interesting discussion points in the video. It seems Sean Baxter's "circle" C++ compiler is opening some eyes.
A quick scan produced an older critique of circle wrt another C++ proposal: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2020/p2062r0.pdf. Those authors seem to embrace crippling, IMO, scope restrictions that circle does not.
If you've looked at circle's capabilities and would care to comment wrt D, I think we'd all benefit.
Separately, many thanks for your great work in D.
