FP in D (today)

[Gour]

Hello!

After posting about "how to resolve "object-relational impedance
mismatch" using D" dilemma, I did some more homework and today finally
(after being advised in sqlite group) went through The Vietnam of
Computer Science
(http://blogs.tedneward.com/2006/06/26/The+Vietnam+Of+Computer+Science.aspx) 

which confirmed that for our application the best course of action is to
forget about any attempt to fix mismtach between relational and
object-oriented model by using ORM and to simply skip OOP code in our
application and focus more towards FP.

Interestingly enough, here is intriguing sentence in the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_programming article stating:
"Among imperative programming languages, the D programming language's
solid support for functional programming stands out." so I'm curious if
anyone more experienced with using FP paradigm in D can comment what
works nicely and is there anything important missing in today's
implementation of D?


Sincerely,
Gour
