Most D coding doesn't require deep template knowledge. The 
standard library can sometimes be confusing, but that's the 
library, not the language itself. And I would say that every 
standard library has it's "history and workarounds."

No idea, after C++ every language just looks like a subset of C++ 
anyway.

`C++ is suitable for Application Programming => therefore 
everything is`
