If you have been programming for 23 years there is absolutely no 
reason why you should struggle with D due to your lack of 
discrete math, machine organization knowledge, etc.  You 
certainly shouldn't have any trouble following Andrei's book, 
which is very easy to follow, although having some discrete math 
is helpful in keeping up with some of his forum posts :o)

Welcome to the D world!
