So every variable is 0 initialized?

If I want to return a value other than 0, how do I do it?

What does that mean - to be typesafe?  Can you give me a real example of where writef() is better than printf().

I'm looking for a good D tutorial.  Something that would have all these answers.  Can you recommend one?  I've been writing C for a dozen years and C++ for a few, as well as other stuff here and there.
