You responded to

Definitely qualifies as both "flamebait" and "unrelated controversies".
- pjmlp 5y agoThe comment was edited, it was about the virtues of static if in D versus C++.
- mhh__ 5y agoMy comment?
- pjmlp 5y agoIf I recall correctly it had something about not doing if constexpr if being lesser than static if, and how greater it makes D over C++, overlooking the fact that since Andrei published its book that has mattered very little. Now if I happened to reply to the wrong comment, sorry about that, and I should pay more attention before replying.
