I think more in the line, C++ will introduce yet another way to code an existing thing.

I can't access Twitter.
But big languages, especially the strategy of C++, just follow others. Any language with new ideas will be copied.
Therefore, small languages like D should first consolidate the existing implementation.

Basically the ! syntax used by our templates has been developed into Circle, not C++

It looks like this


template![int N]
void func(int i){ return N;}
// Used like
int d = func!44;

Correct code 😅

 int func(int i){ return N;}
 // Used like
 int d = func!44;

If this works for you : https://nitter.net/WalterBright/status/1596658148932489218
Then install this plugin: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nitter-redirect/mohaicophfnifehkkkdbcejkflmgfkof

template![int N] can be template[int N].
Maybe it's too picky.

Which is actually Circle, a C++ superset, without any guarantees if ISO C++ will ever adopt it.

If it ever happens, it will be yet another reason to keep using C++, as the C++ developers will get D goodies, alongside the large ecosystem of libraries, IDE and graphical tooling that they enjoy today.

So it is a bit of pyrrhic victory having C++ adopting D features.

If D can be close to seamless interfacing C++, there will be many people using C++ and d at the same time. This is not a bad thing.
You can get the benefits of C++ and d at the same time.
Even, if you can seamlessly interface rust,d programmers can directly use the rust library. Wouldn't it be nice?
