I am newbie to D learning it for sometime using Ali's book. I
came across std.experimental.allocator and read through
http://dlang.org/library/std/experimental/allocator/building_blocks.html . Can someone explain me the actual benefits of using this and if so any benchmarks explaining the advantage. Maybe its too advanced for me as a beginner now its just I am curious over the usage and applications with a simple hello world like example explaining what this library will accomplish. I asked it previously at https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/4hti33/dconf_2016_is_streaming_right_now/d2satic/ but still I don't understand the exact applications of the same.
Allocators might be a good addition to the articles pages on
the website. Not sure if this has been discussed or if we are
adding much there.
You may also consider making a PR to the Dlang Tour:

There's already an open issue about a "@nogc gem":
