I'm not sure if you get it but to understand some D code, there's 
some amount of language features you need to know about first 
like mixins, stuff in std.traits and what they do... and CTFE...a 
few others too. Otherwise, D code might look very weird to you. 
But once you get it, you'll smile to D code for its modelling 
power. The combination of these features can be mentally tasking 
if you don't understand each of them.

I'll recommend the "Programming in D" book if you haven't read it 
already (http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html).
