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.

Good read.
a lifetime ago, I competed using topcoder (and wrote a bunch of problem
sets for them too). Topcoder had a "challenge" phase, where you could
challenge the solutions of others.
Is there anything like that in codeforces, and if so, is D an advantage
as a "somewhat obscure" language (i.e. competitors can't always
understand your code)?
Just curious :)

On codeforces it's called "hacks", but it happens during the contest.
Therefore, if your solution were to be "hacked" it would actually likely
be good for you because you get a chance to fix your code before the
contest ends.
