Hello
I am Abhishek Kumar,computer science student from India.I am 
interested in working on D language during GSoC 2016.I found "GDC 
Project - The GNU D Compiler" interesting.
I have interest in programming languages and compilers.I have 
been working on a Python to C++ code converter,also I am writing 
a Javascript parser for code minification in Scala(Using scala 
fastparse). I have prior open source experience in Scala and good 
knowledge of C/C++.
   Can someone help me with how to start and get familiar with D?
I'll be glad to have your help and suggestions.

Thanks
