D - more or less power than C++?

Maybe you're simply looking at the wrong place. It might not be the language
itself - maybe D is missing a really good and comprehensive tutorial. Imagine
the C++ crowd that wants to migrate to D, and how they struggle to figure out
"the D way to do things". And then, when nothings works as expected, they tend
to say "if D only had [some C++ feature]". Not everyone has fun learning by
searching the web. ;-)
So with a good D tutorial and documentation that has been written with D in mind
from the beginning, D might seem as powerful as it actually is to the people who
are new to D.

As always, just my two cents.
