I'm thinking Nim is sometimes a better source of inspiration.

It's been a while since we implemented this and dealt with the 
fallout. I still like the design much better than D's or C++'s 
but there seems to be an even better design that is both simpler 
(to implement) and allows for more optimizations. I don't want to 
go into more details here though. I hope you'll be able to read 
about them in my upcoming book(s).

Oh, didn't know there was going to be a book on Nim (hopefully) 
soon :D

Other than `Nim in Action`, I simply haven't seen any traditional 
books on Nim, so I'll be looking forward to this


Any estimate about possible release date(s)?

I don't know the Nim Language. But there is a new perspective on 
the concept of const. Although the const attribute in D is a bit 
confusing, D is a more powerful language anyway.
