I've done some preliminary work on a wiki page that attempts to
convince C++ programmers who are on the fence about D, who need
to know what D provides over C++11 and C++14.

I don't know if a Coming_From page is the right place for this
kind of information. What is the target audience for
Coming_From - programmers who are already learning D, or
programmers who are investigating D to decide whether or not to
try it? If the former, where should we place information for
the latter?
Contributions to the page are very welcome. I think D's syntax
is intuitive enough for C++ programmers that we can use
commented D code examples. I could need some help filling up
the sections and proposing new sections.
Thanks for doing this. Maybe link to Andrei's talks and articles
(and Ali's book) on iterators and ranges.
Learning D vs investigating whether to try it is not such a
binary choice because many people who try a language give up
early. Maybe start with the selling points and have a second
section below - 'here is how to do stuff'. Some examples, and
links to other relevant material.
