Interesting historical context, thanks for letting us know.

My difficulty would've been eased by more documentation and 
examples (the official docs examples tend) :). Unfortunately, D 
really lacks in this regard, despite its age.

I might write myself something about how to do basic stuff in D 
as I learn.
