Either there's something about your company that those who've already
posted in this thread know and don't like, or the guys simply were in a
bad mood.
Personally I'm glad that D support is being added by a new vendor, that
is always welcome.

You've already probably downloaded the DMD compiler to get the
documentation and lists of reserved words, etc. Witht that same download
comes a wealth of source code, from which it should be possible to
collect the most used idioms.
They aren't all that different from what the typical Java or C idioms
are, so it might be enough to just have most basic construct snippets.
