To be honest... I use D and don't really understand what the blog
post is about (I don't really care much for const and such). I
just glance through it and nothing catches my eye. I imagine any
non-D user would completely ignore this blog post. It's a nice
blog post for D users who are into this topic, but it's not
something that would grab general attention. Also the premise of
"D's const is hard to use, here's a way to deal with it" is not
very optimistic. People here might think "wow, that's a nifty
trick", but most outsiders would just think "wow that const thing
is pain in the ass".
Here's some examples of blog posts that got popular on reddit
last week. They're short enough and can be understood without
deep understanding of the language:
