You're right - thank you for this constructive criticism. The post was originally written as a DIP (D Improvement Proposal), and arguably suffers a little because of that.
Since Cython compiles to C++, it can use C++ templates directly, without the need for creating aliases to the specific instantiations you're gonna use. As far as I understand, you'll still have to write Cython bindings,…
Walter got a bit confused here - what he's describing is the owner/borrow system he's proposed to compete with Rust. This is unrelated to named parameters.
Both your convenience function and the quotes in the type name can be removed via the use of static opDispatch: struct FlagImpl(string name) { bool value; alias value this; } struct Flag { alias opDispatch(string name)…
Humans started out with only one very limited language, then spread out to cover the world, and new languages flourished. As technology progressed and the world became smaller, having fewer languages (or at least, a few…

https://dlang.org/spec/cpp_interface.html#cpp-templates You will need to recreate the C++ function definitions in D and mark them extern(C++), but that's about it.
The spec says the GC may move, though the current GC doesn't do that: https://dlang.org/spec/garbage.html#obj_pinning_and_gc There's also been some work on a precise GC for D:…
