Thanks, great read :)

I have some minor notes though:

1. Your real name isn't written in the article so the link "with 
some successes" won't tell much to someone that doesn't already 
know you

2. When you briefly explain templates I think it's important to 
mention that empty parentheses may be omitted to allow the reader 
to make the link between function!(arg1)(arg2) and map!something. 
Explaining UFCS isn't necessary there though I think since it's 
obvious that there is some kind of chaining at play (not that you 
did, just thinking out loud).

Also I have a question: I find very nice that some platforms 
propose D even though not all do, but are they generally keeping 
it up to date with DMD or stuck at something ancient?
