Introducing D

I'd like to put up some tutorial material, written in the D programming language.

But first then I'd introduce this D thing...

D programming language is like C++, only "better". It would be hard to define "better", so let me say it has almost everything C++ has to offer, but it is much clearer, and, almost a lot of things have better compile times.
It's a bit like C# or Java, but without a VM, but still multiplatform.
The compiler backend is closed, but D in altogether is free.

The official site of D:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/
then the Wiki4d site,
and there is also a short introduction on Wikipedia,
and finally a blog with news about D.

And the drawbacks? Well, its still in beta, with no fixed feature sets and roadmap, and some of the major elements have issues, like the garbage collector, template handling, libraries are also still in the making, no ide, no professional debugger. Things can always change and go either for better or worst; lets hope it will be - even - better.
