C++17 constexpr everything, or as much as the compiler can

Man, meanwhile, D has compile-time function evaluation. D's compiler is really awesome. Most of the time, no special syntax is to evaluate things at compile time (perhaps just a "static" keyword here or there) and the rules are much simpler than C++'s.

If you like this you should check out Nim. Its CTFE is arguably even better. :)

Everyone always tells me that, but isn't Nim even more niche than D? I like that D feels familiar and easy. I love D! It's the C++ I always wanted.
