I liked it. Here are my thoughts:

In some cases, there were bits that I don't follow as well like 
where you have
$ nm example1.o
and its results

You might want to highlight that betterC is not well documented 
and provide a few more details on what it means, what are the 
limitations, etc.

You wrote an apply function. Is phobos' map not compatible with 
betterC? Maybe mention that mir has a map function in ndslice 
algorithm that could be a betterC alternative.

You also discuss template alias parameters when talking about 
apply. Template aliases seem a bit like magic to me. Sure, I've 
used them, but still seem like magic. And I don't think the D 
docs do a great job explaining it. Maybe give a short explanation 
in addition to what is there (perhaps as a footnote?).
