I think this is a great idea. I've used exercism with several 
languages and had a lot of fun.  I did some work making a D track 
a while ago, but let it fall by the wayside.

One thing you should do if this goes live is promote it here and 
encourage people to participate. Exercism really shines if there 
are active nitpickers (their name for code reviewers) commenting 
on people's answers. If some of the champion helpers in the Learn 
forum here participated on the exercism track, it would really 
help to make it successful, and encourage newbies.
