I'm still watching it but I was thinking the same thing but about D. - Module system - Optionally avoiding complex build systems (rdmd or dub) - Fast build times - Type inference - Nested block comments - Owned memory (Unique, Scoped, RefCounted) - All variables initialized by default - Anonymous or strong enums - Specify enum type (inferred by default) - Order independent symbols - Scope guard statements (more powerful in D though) - Locally defined functions - Built-in dynamic arrays - Parameterized types (doesn't work in his language yet but he says it's coming) - Compile time function evaluation (only side-effect free code though so no playable space invaders at compile time) - Complex checks using compile time function evaluation - Generate code at compile time and mix it into the program itself I like where his language is headed but I'm not convinced we aren't already there. I guess I should go back and listen to his other talks to see why he's unsatisfied with Rust or D.
