One thing that positively surprised me is how deep into advanced 
D features some snippets go. Back when I was doing C++ usage of 
any overly advanced template tricks was highly discouraged with a 
reasoning that it will make application non-maintainable by 
anyone else but original author and it will eventually crush 
under technical debt. The fact that D makes it possible to 
actually use the language power in team with varying proficiency 
level and still move forward successfully - that is a great 
indicator of design success alone.
