When would you want to have an interface such that nothing about the return type of a function is known to the outside world? I'm genuinely asking; I just don't understand the utility of this concept.


I don't think anyone's trying to argue about whether it's better or worse than the Rust concept. Just that it's subtly different.


I'm not interested in comparing it to the rust concept. I'm just curious why this is something people find valuable in D, and why another commenter would call it a feature D "would be ruined without"


The commentor is just mistaken. The two do the exact same thing.


That's fine, but I'm not interested in comparing them and I still don't understand what the benefit is
