What's the similarity between the D type system and making
love in a canoe?

Adapted from an Australian joke about U.S. beer (orig. Miller)
(Ozzie's revere their beer), the answer is .. <scroll-down-for-answer/>



























They are both f??king close to water. :-)

I don't get it  :-(

Making love is often equated with the act of copulation, in
the vernacular called 'fucking'. In addition, that very same
word is used as an intensifying adjective, in the same way
as the word 'very'.

Hence, making love in a canoe is akin to copulating in the
adjacent to water, and D's type system is (by the original
poster) considered as having the same structural integrity
as H2O.

I've never heard a type system being compared to water :-/

Even still, what makes D's type system watery?

Glad to hear that. :p

I believe this is related to the post about the type of null.
Seeing as how null has no type, or at least none we may use,
it is a hole in the system, reducing its value in the eyes of
some people.

The original joke was about beer, which is easier to compare
to water - that means it is thin, without taste or other
properties considered positive in beer. Back to the type
system, such being watery would indicate it is weak, ad-hoc,
full of holes, or otherwise in an unfortunate condition.

Next time you could use few more blank lines between the question and 
answer. You know, 2560x1600 monitors are getting more and more popular. 
The post uses about 50% of the vertical space on my screen and I'm using 
"large" fonts.
