I liked this post very much.  I remember thinking how superior 
BBC Basic was to other languages for forcing you to declare 
variables.  (I know the question is not technically only about 
this, but the philosophical tone is similar).  And what a shock 
it was to travel back in time when I learnt python...

Should this be turned into a wiki post?  Maybe the main section 
relating to why D does things a certain way?  Or maybe an 
opinionated section where there are articles that don't represent 
the official D stance.

In general there is lots of hidden gold in newsgroup posts that 
is not always easy to find.  Curating this might help others down 
the line.  I can do a little, but not that much as I have certain 
constraints and other things I should be focusing on.
