My Vision of D’s Future

D already works like this.

Scala (Ammonite) works like this.

The author isn't complaining about keystrokes; he wants the compile + run process to be faster. Using an interpreter instead of a compiler would make it faster.

Java has the same now (since Java 9 I think).

So you're saying it's as simple as:

java build ./app/ ./app

That's impressive if true as last I worked with Java it was a mess

Not quite. You can run `java Foo.java` and it will compile and execute the class file (and remove it when done).
