I'm one of those guys who just came to D and its syntax is very 
clear to me. I'm moving to a different level of programming from 
desktop applications to microservices and web applications, so 
the question arose of choosing another language other than C++, 
but still compiled. It took me a week to realize how simple Go 
is, but it lacks classes, templates, and itching to put 
parentheses where they are not needed. That's why I would like 
everything in D to be out of the box like in Go with good editor 
support. Just an outside perspective for the sake of promoting 
the language!
