Thank you for taking the time to respond to my inquiry.  I've 
been reading up on different languages for some time now. I have 
experimented with python some and have  created a few minor 
scripts. It's fairly easy to get going with the basics , but i 
don't find the basics any easier to  learn than D's.  The biggest 
issue i personal find in getting deeper into  a language is the 
docs and examples. The python examples, beyond the basics usually 
get write into OO so you find your self trying to figure out OO 
while trying to sift through the examples.  Makes it a little 
harder to get going and figure out the available libraries while 
trying to figure OO at the same time.
The second thing that would help a beginner move forward is the 
documentation  on the libraries. I see D has  standard libraries 
along with third parties. And I believe , if i read it properly, 
D can us C libraries. It would be helpful to see examples on how 
to use C libs with D since D is still new and its library 
packages is still small.
Summing it up, I personally think the hardest part in learning to 
use a specific language is the docs and and examples because they 
all throw you write into OO and you spend more time trying to 
figure out OO instead of how to use the standard lib or third 
party lib to get a basic task done.

Thank you Ali Cehreli for taking the time to write the D 
tutorial. It's appreciated by people like me.
