Thanks for doing this.  Maybe link to Andrei's talks and articles 
(and Ali's book) on iterators and ranges.

Learning D vs investigating whether to try it is not such a 
binary choice because many people who try a language give up 
early.  Maybe start with the selling points and have a second 
section below - 'here is how to do stuff'.  Some examples, and 
links to other relevant material.
