Hello,
the url https://dlang.org/overview.html states that "It's a
practical language for practical programmers", i think this is
the vision statement)))
Take a look on https://dlang.org/ : "D is a systems programming
language with C-like syntax..."
The overview-page http://dlang.org/overview.html has two main
sections which compares D with C++.
The tour https://tour.dlang.org/ is nearly empty, but on the
first page it states that D is an "evolution of C++ (without
the mistakes)" (the real content is hidden in the
menu-sections).
Most of the (very good) articles in
https://dlang.org/articles.html compare D-features with C++. If
I want to learn how D templates work, I do not need to know
what is bad in C++-Templates.
From my point of view this misleading for people comming to D
first time. D is a mature full featured language by its own. D
has its roots in C++ (and C) but is full fledged now and should
represent its features and strength with continuously
referencing C++ and without this repetitive "without mistakes".
Many young people are looking for alternatives to the boring
Java Ecosystem. If you position D in the, from there
perspective, grandparents-language C++ edge, you will miss them.

Sorry, two typos, should be read as:
