I didn't mean it's useful to make D a language to teach people about
programming. I meant it's useful for teaching D to people.
It's not always true, but languages that are less wordy in their example
code tend to be picked up faster. People's first projects in D aren't
going to be large, complex, professional products. They'll want to just
try it out on something simple. That bar should be as low as reasonable.
