I take that as a compliment. Thanks! The rest of you, take that 
as a challenge. ;)

What I would like to read about would be LuaD [4] or ctRegex [5], 
because they are great demos of CTFE.

The auto-tester would be worth an article as well. Not about the 
implementation details, but about its features and the PR 
workflow.

Also, some embedded D use like kernel or freestanding stuff.

None of these are "I fixed something in D" though. Hm, Taking a 
look through the recent 072 changelog, I found two items which 
could be worth a story:

* std.range.padLeft and std.range.padRight were added (if someone 
can write comedy and wants to take some jabs at the Javascript 
leftPad story)
* std.range.generate fixed to be a proper range (I remember some 
heated discussion about the semantics of front)
