Because D was originally created by a C++ compiler writer, Walter Bright, it’s an easy language for C and C++ programmers to learn, but there are little differences in the way declarations work. I learned them piecemeal in different places, but I’m going to dump a bunch in this one post.

In a post a few months back I said it’s a popular
myth that const is helpful for enabling compiler
optimisations in C and C++. I figured I should explain that one, especially because I used to believe it was
obviously true, myself. I’ll start off with some theory and artificial examples, then I’ll do some experiments and
benchmarks on a real codebase: Sqlite.
