Interesting talk. When watching the examples regarding the deficiencies 
with anonymous instances, I asked myself the question "How would I write 
similar examples in D, and would they have some of the same deficiencies?"

I think, for the most part, D avoids many of the problems with its more 
advance language constructs (delegates, scope, with, etc). With the 
mixin statements, it is possible to write closures, but required use of 
strings makes it non-ideal.
