"That said, D definitely has some advantages over C++, like more powerful metaprogramming, no need for headers, no uninitialized values and more. But unfortunately, these upsides are outweighed by the downsides."
Yes, after working with D for far too long, I have decided to delete it off my computer and I'm going back to C++, where a class is still a first-class 'type', and a 'value' type at that (at least by default).
In D, a class is a reference type only and worse, the D language has no means of declaring, let alone enforcing at compile time, a perimeter around such a type, within the so called 'D module'. The entire D module is within the perimeter of your class type, at all times!
