If you say that D would be a good language to learn in lieu 
C++/Rust I'd agree, but as a First Language neither one would be 
my choice.

Most here already program and know things, but as a first 
language forget, at least where and when I did college (Already 
knowing how to program), most people were lost with all the 
concepts of C++ for example.

Bitwise shifts like << >> and the same operators being used in 
cin/cout may be OK for most people already in programming and 
using shell, but for those learning was a hell.
