I tried getting ChatGPT to write D last year and it was a 
frustrating experience. I subscribe to the plus version now*, but 
haven't tried it with D code. Given some other frustrating 
experiences with it, I don't have high hopes unless there is some 
kind of new breakthrough in the technology**.

*4o certainly gives better answers than the base model, but I 
can't trust it
**It's like they spent all their time grinding for the final 
exam, they know the textbook backwards and forwards and can do 
all the problem sets perfectly, but don't really comprehend what 
they're doing and are just regurgitating what they read. So when 
they try to do something not in the textbook or the problem sets, 
it can be like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
