Each individual item tended to only be about 3 pages, some 
shorter, a few longer (I had a fair chunk to say about ranges and 
reflection, not so much to say about threads and phobos) and in 
some cases I kinda ask the reader to take things on faith.

Mostly, I explain the faith stuff on the following page, but in 
the bare metal thing, like i said before, some of it is just 
"that interacts with the hardware, trust me". So that chapter was 
only about 15 pages.... a lot for two "recipes" ("hello world" 
and "handling interrupts"), but certainly not a comprehensive 
covering of the subject.

I gotta writing my dconf talk next though that will go a bit more 
into it, but again, with a focus on druntime functions more than 
on how the hardware actually works.

yeah, it starts with a list of steps, then usually shows code 
(not always a complete program but usually), then some talk about 
how it works and covering details.

the code should also be available as a separate download for each 
thing so you can run it more easily and play with it that way.
