What hurts me most in doing it is just that it is C++... I know 
my way around the compiler reasonably well. Not great but good 
enough to get by... but doing new code is just such a pain. 
Little things like no auto, forward declarations, weak sauce 
arrays and strings. Ugh, it just isn't D.

And then dmd has its own rules that trip me up. Aren't supposed 
to use dynamic_cast, can't use tabs, just all kinds of style 
things that grind me.
