The drama aint new, the drama is a constant continuation and the 
people here either are extremely (pathologically) patient or 
combative and doing their own thing anyway.

D is a c++ compeditor, ignore any delusions about c; when you 
look at d templates versus c++ or rust, d's are better clearer, 
and compile faster, if nothing else d should help you learn 
templates. If you're looking for a templating language, d is the 
answer.
