His post does seem self-promotional I admit but Walter usually shows up in any threads about compilers and usually shares interesting comparisons and contrasts to how his language and compiler handled the issue.

For me, I appreciate the perspective and opinions of someone else in the industry with proven results. D is a major language, you can't deny that.

Maybe this post he should have went into a little more detail but I do not think he posted this with ill intent.

If anything I'm sure he would love to continue a dialog about the design decisions that led him to implement the same feature - and maybe this was his way of starting the conversation.

Given that he is a 15 year member of our community, and has earned 70k karma, we should give him the benefit of the doubt.
