I appreciate you taking the time to give examples in D. People are often under the mistaken impression that Zig's compile time is revolutionary, from how it is excessively hyped, but are failing to realize that many other languages have similar or users can get similar results by doing things differently, because languages have different philosophies and design strategies.

For example, the creator of Odin, has stated in the past he rather come up with optimal solutions without metaprogramming, despite enthusiasts trying to pressure him to add such features into that language.
