I'll check out the learn ng next time. Maybe that is then more focused on the higher-level constructs of the language. > > In my experience D is roughly analogous to C# in terms of crypticness > and readability, I am here doing long-term evaluations of D as a > replacement for C# on my employers projects as we may face power > constraints in the future that preclude the use of a JIT'ed language. > So far, I like what I've seen. But I thought that C# could be precompiled in some fashion? In either case, going from C# to D seems like a major move. Not so much the move but a too broadly defined application that it could actually be a good fit with both languages. > > As for non-trivial code, there are a number of FOSS project lying > around, Recommendations of which to peek at?
