Using C++ everywhere D is makes things worst

[karabuta via Digitalmars-d]

I understand many D programmers were formally(or still is or 
in-between) C++ but most explanations for certain things tells me 
either D is a C++ clone or I need to learn C++ first before I 
really understand D (kind of like C++ is a subset of D). I must 
say that I never coded C++ beyond "hello, world!" and I don't 
plan to.

This is not about me and what I want, it is about improving the D 
learning resources available. Explaining D code by using C/C++ 
code and or theory confuses me as a learner. D alone is too much 
to learn.
