I have to admit that it is very good, providing the reader with a real-life example of language usage, explains the ideology and proper style of programming in said language and most of all, teaches how to write good idiomatic code.

It looks well done. Us D beginners could definitely benefit from 
more tutorials like this illustrating some of the cooler things 
you can do. There were a number of things I don't think I really 
understood until I started looking at the code in std.range and 
std.algorithm.

One cool thing you can do in Rust is return an rvalue from a { } 
scope. The only problem is then things start getting a little 
confusing about when to use a semi-colon or not (I'd prefer just 
re-using return).
