Whatever the reality initially, it is definitely now marketed as a
modernized C. Echoes of C++ then.

Aha the Brighton dwelling D user of note ;-)

I have lived in Brighton, but it was a long time ago, it is probably

We could start a code dojo to build up an initial activity and then
spawn off public meetings with tutorial style material to attract people
new to D. "D for C++ programmers", "D for C programmers", "D for Python

We might initially draw on the ACCU London people to gauge interest.
