For a more general audience, I would suggest to expand the first 
paragraph and tell more about your pet project.

Some parts should be extended, so non-D-programmers can 
understand it. For example, the mention of `pragma` is probably 
confusing for C/C++ people.

Inserting  a few links would be nice (e.g. for std.array.split).

If you really want to put in work, insert lots of code examples 
with C and D versions.

Finally, a question: Did you count lines of code C vs D? Or 
better yet, number of tokens?

Anyways, I was tempted to send the forum link around, so it is 
already a nice blog post as it is.
