I thought the user-defined operators were pretty neat honestly.

Since they were inspired by D, I cannot fathom that they went 
with the C++ "template < AType >" style, but other than that, I 
love it! Thanks for sharing.

They have "static if" though:

https://github.com/imapp-pl/morfa-examples

But D is also rather close to other languages, so... I guess we 
just have to believe them when they state that they felt inspired 
by D.

What is interesting about Morfa is that they have a jitted REPL. 
That's a significant advantage worth pursuing.

Well, they also seem to include dmd source code in their source 
tree, so I guess they are literally inspired... Just explore 
their bitbucket repository: morfa / morfa / ldc / dmd

Interesting! Too bad they go GPL, otherwise a feature backport 
might have been possible.

Looks like LLVM makes such things possible - there is also one 
for C++(https://github.com/vgvassilev/cling).

Could be nice to have a LDC-based REPL...

Thanks, this looks interesting. Have you tried it? Maybe it could 
be useful for debugging.

Yes, REPL is a killer-feature IMHO. The syntax probably have to 
be simplified for it to be truly useful though, (typing "auto" 
and "immutable" is boring).

Being able to gradually build an app by "scripting" in native 
code can be useful in many scenarios, like when designing games.
