OK understood.

I am sorry for expressing myself poorly. What I meant to say is 
that it looked like you can write an interesting article about 
your experience learning and using C++ and learning and using D, 
comparing the two. D could come out of that comparison favourably 
considering 1) how long it takes to learn, 2) how much code you 
need to write, 3) whether there are difficulties along the way, 
and 4) how productive you can be (getting things done). I may 
have been jumping to conclusions, but it could still be an 
interesting read, especially for people that consider learning 
C++ or D. In particular the focus on UFCS is interesting, as that 
can be rather alien to beginners, and something you are 
enthusiastic about.

Understood.

Posting it here is fine. You could also have posted in the 
general forum, as it is more of a compliment than a question. But 
if you want to write more about your positive experience, then a 
blog article might be nice. It would reach more people, and it 
would maybe help some of them. If you want to do that work, then 
maybe Mike Parker would want to put it on the D blog, and help 
you polish it.

Whatever you decide to do, thanks for sharing your experience 
here :-)

Bastiaan.
