Synonymous to "Next C++". Yes and no. In the beginning it felt like D aim was to fix C++ pains. In the end and I mean now, it's a language with a pretty unique set of features that managed to absorb years of language design and engineering experience. Unfortunately, this didn't happen fast.

Also see https://forum.dlang.org/post/mzmtmtuycfaqrcnlz...@forum.dlang.org I was actually saying we need an intermediate to advanced D programming course somewhere today. To supplement an introductory one like this.

That's what it is. There's still people learning to program everyday and I believe its a good learning material for such an audience. There's such tutorials for pretty much all programming languages on Udemy. I'm fine with what it is, and I'm not trying to say it's not useful to anyone. But that's not what it says, it says: "The Complete D programming Language Course". This is not "complete". But I also didn't pay for it to see, so maybe it's more involved than what the preview says. -Steve
