I assume refactoring, high quality documentation and perhaps a
tutorial too, of course. Seems to me that lowering the "anxiety

Exactly. I was surprised to find out I couldn't use Phobos in
ddmd. Raw D is still more pleasant than programming in C++, but
not nearly as much fun as writing normal D code.
