Hi 

I have been watching one of googles tech talk videos about BDD.

and maybe we can use this to fix up D's unit test environment what
do you think ?

Maybe I'm ignorant, but BDD seems purely to be yet another marketing term.

The testing part is basically common sense testing applied at the module
level. As for the design part ... well have you ever considered how an
architect designs a house? Replace tests with conditions imposed by law
and mock up models - err objects - and you arrive at BDD.

It seemed like the speaker mentioned some existing problems but didn't
spend enough time explaining the solution. The syntax sugar alone surely
isn't enough.

Sounds just like DbC, but with syntactic sugar that would just bloat D.  And 
with some things only possible or necessary with an interpreted, 
dynamically-typed language like Ruby.

For what it's worth, Google is crazy for Python and this presentation 
may well have been targeted that way.
