Zoran Isailovski:I like the approach of Ada, Oberon, and (I think) Modula-3 - all of which have successfully been used for system programming - in that they allow unsafe constructs ONLY in modules specifically marked as "unsafe".<
This is already becoming true in the last version of DMD. But I don't like this solution. See the main D newsgroup, I'm about to post a note there.I think, providing unsafe features through clumsy syntax makes things worse, because it reduces readability where readability is most wanted - in sensible, unsafe places (think "code reviews").<
I agree. But the situation isn't that bad. Bye, bearophile
