Btw, this is my benchmark:

https://en.cppreference.com/

Flat architecture, for quick reference. Could it be better, sure. 
But far more functional than other languages atm. Fashionable 
visuals would make it worse, not better.

It might be the most popular website for systems programming. I 
use it frequently.

I also use MDN frequently, but only access it through google 
search.

It is important that D sells itself as a community project and 
not as a slick corporate entity. The current website and DConf 
sends that message quite effectively. "Improving" the visuals 
would be a waste of effort. Improving the usability and content 
would worthwhile though.
