I am a long time observer of D but have never done any coding

either going with C++ or Java.
I feel that for someone like me it is not clear what
significant advantages D has over C++ or Java to make a switch.
I cannot afford to experiment with a language unless I know for
certain the benefits of using it.
My post here was triggered after watching a video by Andrei
where he talked about how D generics are different from C++
templates - I think stuff like that needs to be explained in
the front page of D website.
To clarify - the reason for my post here is to raise that the
benefits of D over C++ or Java should be explained right up-front
on D website in real world terms (i.e. with examples and
benchmarks) to help people like me.
