Thanks .. missed the detail down the sidebar .. must have been my blurry vision due to staring at Java for too long .. was thinking that getting into D might be some relief for sore eyes .. read the 1.0 PDF spec last week and today went looking (with a measure of excitement) for the 2.0 spec in PDF format to read off-screen.

Now is this blurry vision to blame or a typo at line 23 into the first example this page?

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/index.html

        // Improved typesafe printf
        writeln(cl.argnum, cl.suffix, " arg: ", cl.argv);
        // Automatic or explicit memory management
        delete cl;
    }

writeln should be writefln ?

Ditto on D1.0 intro page
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/index.html

As a newcomer, I didn't expect the compiler to bitch at sample code copied and pasted from the première D example page :-(

./hello.d(23): Error: undefined identifier writeln
./hello.d(23): Error: function expected before (), not writeln of type int

Anyway, if it's not too late, me thinks I'd like to join the party.  You folks sound welcoming enough. :-)
