how many keywords in D are needed because the preprocessor is

It's true, people forget about the preprocessor keywords when
counting C++ keywords.
You're right, I did forget about the preprocessor. Besides the usual
things in the header files, I always try to avoid macros.
There are about 20 directives, so that puts the keywords count for C++
to 101. It's still fewer than D. Does that mean D is more complex than
C++?
Python with 33, I think most would agree that is has a very consice
grammer.
I tend to believe D is conceptually more complex than C++. Which means
it allows for more expressivity. But it has far fewer warts and a
simpler syntax.
I believe it takes as much time to learn D than to learn C++ (i.e at
least 6 months), but you end up writing more secure and more powerful code.
