Hello, folks! Newbie to D, have some questions!

[berni via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I'm new here too (never heard of D before 2017).

I didn't tried out Rust, but that would draw me away too. 
(Incidentally it was a comment on alternatives for Rust, that 
pointed me to D.)

I started with the online version of the book of Ali Çehreli but 
after a while I decided to buy it and was impressed on its size 
(more than 700 pages!). Meanwhile I'm halfway through.

At the same time I'm working on a project of mine, which I just 
started writing in C++ last december, because I couldn't find a 
better language and thought I had to bite the bullet. Meanwhile 
it's completely rewritten in D (but two lines of C code that I 
need to use a C-libraray). Whenever I came across a new concept 
in the book I tried to refactor that project using this concept.

This approach worked very well for me. (And I appreciate this 
Learn-forum, because else I'd not dare to ask my seemingly silly 
questions.)

I just realised, how much I'm thinking in D allready when I saw 
this: At first glance I wondered, what this thoroughly-template 
is about... ;-)
