Sigh, one of these days I'm gonna have to rewrite many of these
pages.
I find them very hard to navigate and very unfriendly to
newbies,
because very basic information (like what 'is' is) is buried
deep in
long verbose infodumps of diverse language features, with no
indication
at all which are fundamental concepts and which are just
details. It's
virtually impossible to find what you're looking for unless you
already
know what it is.
TDPL lays things out in a much saner fashion, but how many
newbies
actually own the book? We need the online docs to be just as
newbie-friendly.
I agree, that the online docs are insufficient for learning the
language.
But that's the case for phobos, too. Both are just a listings of
what is there and don't give you any overview of what design
decisions were made and what implications they have.
Just take a look std.container.
I hope that Ali Çehreli efforts will be midterm solution at
least for the language docs. Maybe he should credits by linking
from the homepage to his book.
