I too learned to program using BASIC sometime in the mid-80's. 
The "enterprise" side of things has created a completely 
unnecessary learning curve. Java being used to teach intro to 
computing was successful at exactly one thing - it drove people 
away from programming.

I spend my days working with graduate students in economics 
departments. They have to program for their research, but most of 
them have never taken a programming class. I use RStudio server. 
Students need only a browser to do fairly complicated analyses. 
Once you eliminate the startup costs, it's amazing how easy it is 
for them to learn.

Do we have such a thing with D? Unfortunately we are moving in 
the wrong direction. New users are told to write configuration 
files for Hello World.
