Would be interesting. Initially defined by its linter, I guess. 
Existing users with big D codebases could opine on if and how the 
features of D they started with stayed in use or got replaced.

I don't remember how starting out with C/C++ felt, but being a D 
newbie feels different - becomes comfortable almost 
instantaneously, but the next steps have to be in a real small 
project, not learning more by reading.

While the Phobos Github issues around testing, etc. are useful 
for learning more, the features to use in own small projects are 
fuzzier to pick out. C/C++ don't really have too many ways of 
doing things (and not enough things can be done), D
