BetterC is very nice. I'd like to imagine BetterC lifted out of the D compiler with its own spec and separate evolution... That would have been ideal for me. But with BetterC as part of the D compiler it will always feel more like a gateway drug for D rather than a language in its own right :D
There are a lot of C compilers out there, people write them for fun. I like the idea that someone would write a C3 compiler "for fun". So limiting implementation complexity is something I have as a goal. What would it take for someone to write a compiler for just the BetterC subset? Would it be doable like implementing C?
