I meant more to focus only on D. Like : "What do you have most 
difficulty with while learning language/you were learning 
langeuage?" "What do you consider most confusing part of D 
library/language features." etc...

I personally, have problems with: Endless confusion about 
class/struct. endless confussion about array slices. String 
details. Lack of enough practical examples on library packages...

On the other hand I don't feel that templates are so hard. That's 
actually why i started to learn D.
