D in my trashbin

[Chris Nicholson-Sauls via Digitalmars-d]

I first encountered D in 2001.  Back then it was basically:
1. download zip
2. unpack
3. go

Today it's... the same.  (In fairness I use dvm these days, just 
to automate it.)  So if you are having difficulty compiling 
something as simple as a "hello world," as you say, there is 
something else afoot.
