I made a small start on the Python section. It needs more concrete
side-by-side examples of translating Python idioms into D, but that is
all I can do for now.
Thanks for this initiative. It would be indeed awesome if this got a bit
more attention. Once we get the portal fleshed out, we can promote the
link to the homepage.
One note about Walter's older C/C++ transition articles. They have good
information on transition technicalities (e.g. "how do I do this thing
in D that I used to do in C++?") but not a lot about the changes in
coding style - making object copying not arbitrarily expensive, choosing
struct vs. class, preferring pipelines and lazy to eager computation,
etc. From what I see some folks come from C++, write their first D
program in a stilted C++ idiom, and are left with the impression that
the work is not worth the trouble.
