I understand many D programmers were formally(or still is or

I really understand D (kind of like C++ is a subset of D). I
must say that I never coded C++ beyond "hello, world!" and I
don't plan to.
This is not about me and what I want, it is about improving the
D learning resources available. Explaining D code by using
C/C++ code and or theory confuses me as a learner. D alone is
too much to learn.
You neither need a C nor a CPP background to learn D.
Before starting to learn D I was only (and barely) reading C,
just because of the few times I had to deal with C headers file
when using bindings in another lang.
You can start D from scratch. This is not because there are
comparisons (such as the wiki sections: comming from...) that
it's mandatory.
For example with
http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html
you can start from scratch, at least the book is advertised so.
