Hi Denis,

Thanks so much for your prompt response.

I do know many projects there written by D1,but how come D1 seems to ppl  just a  pass-by,please correct me if I am wrong.

Whenever you find a difficulty, ask in newsgroups or in IRC (you usually get instant help there). I'd also recommend you to find some people that use/learn D and speak your language. For example, if you speak Chinese, d-programming-language-china.org is a great resource for you. I believe there are a lot of people that would be glad to help.

 Yes,you are right, I am a member of d-programming-language-china.org.Actually there is another one D forum which I think is more open,serious,intuitive and productive:
http://dlang.group.javaeye.com/
and I has tried to translate several Phobos lib into Chinese just as the others did.
But to be honest,almost all D members in the forum are a bit  lost for the going of D1 vs D2.We felt that D1 is workable but less less power than D2 or C++( almost not worth to use),D2 is what we expected and what we want but it seems we can never get it to work.

Thanks again.
