Welcome, Igor!

Your sentiments reflect mine years ago when I first discovered D.  I
came from a C/C++/Perl background.  It was also Andrei's book that got
me started; in those early days documentation was scant and I didn't
know how to write idiomatic D code. But after I found TDPL, the rest was
history. :-)

We have a few Russians on this forum, and I can understand some Russian
too. Though on this mailing list English is the language to use.

Yes, I agree!

Your English is understandable. That's good enough, I think. :-)
