The final post in the series on Funkwerk is the first in a new series of User Stories. Three Funkwerk developers share some of their enthusiasm about D. Michael Schnelle talks about the power of ranges, Ronny Spiegel tells us how generated code is better code, and Stefan Rohe shows off some of the company's community outreach.

Also "auto" can be omitted.

foreach (element; elements)

Not only can be. It must be. auto is not legal in a foreach loop in D, which is arguably a bit inconsistent, but for better or worse, that's the way it is.

Ahh, I didn't know it had become illegal or at least I think I remember foreach loops accepting auto in the past, but that's probably years ago or maybe I remember wrong and it has always been illegal?

AFAIK, it has always been illegal, and periodically, it's been brought up that it should be legal for consistency, but for better or worse, it hasn't been changed.
