Go also now natively supports complex numbers.<
While D2 will unsupport them, because D2 is probably flexible enough to not need to keep them as built-ins :-)
The syntax x[lo:] is now shorthand for x[lo:len(x)].<
That's identical to the Python syntax. But the D version x[lo .. $] is acceptable. But there's a len() my dlibs too. It helps me avoid to write "length" all the time and avoids my typos, and it can be used as delegate too: map(&len, arr); This Go syntax is cute: Pointer to int: *int Array of ints: []int Array of pointer to ints: []*int Pointer to array of ints: *[]int In D it becomes: Pointer to int: int* Array of ints: int[] Array of pointer to ints: int*[] Pointer to array of ints: int[]* Here I think I like the Go version better :-( Bye, bearophile

D vs Go I do not agree If we read D from RIGHT to LEFT like Pointer to array of ints: int[]* than we have * //pointer to [] // array of int in Go From LEFT to RIGHT * [] int So Go is just a pascalized C. who cares.

Or: Integer pointer array: int*[] Integer array pointer: int[]* Yes when you want to make a complete sentence out of it, the order changes. Reading what it says tells the story correctly.

 In D it becomes:
 Pointer to int: int*
 Array of ints: int[]
 Array of pointer to ints: int*[]
 Pointer to array of ints: int[]*
 
 Here I think I like the Go version better :-(
The famous case in support of Go syntax: In D syntax, a nested array int[A][B] x; has to be indexed as x[b][a] (implying that b runs over 0..B and a over 0..A) After all, it is an "array of B arrays of A integers", in other words an "integer-A-element-array-B-element-array". The same in Go ordering is more straightforward: [B][A]int x
