Hey,
I wrote a post with my general reflections on using D in
competitive programming.
Mostly compared to C++, since that's what more than 90% of
people use for it.
The post is tailored to cover only the competitive programming
specifics.

Thanks, great read :)
I have some minor notes though:
1. Your real name isn't written in the article so the link "with
some successes" won't tell much to someone that doesn't already
know you
2. When you briefly explain templates I think it's important to
mention that empty parentheses may be omitted to allow the reader
to make the link between function!(arg1)(arg2) and map!something.
Explaining UFCS isn't necessary there though I think since it's
obvious that there is some kind of chaining at play (not that you
did, just thinking out loud).
Also I have a question: I find very nice that some platforms
propose D even though not all do, but are they generally keeping
it up to date with DMD or stuck at something ancient?
