I'd love if you'd pick up again. Years ago, when it was a bit more active, I'd check it all the time. I've learned a lot from the page. Thanks for all your work on it!

Also keep in mind it's not a structured learning resource, it was all about emphasizing this or that particular and rarely needed aspect of D and edge cases. Which I think a few of us have been fond of at one point.

For someone coming to D today, would you say most of the content there is still valid? Thanks It's mostly valid, but it lacks about fifty new articles that would need to be added.

If you have any particularly interesting and specific pages on D, feel free to send them to me, so I can post them to HN at the optimal time. (Furthermore, if you authored it, you should a comment that explains why you made it and offering to answer questions– I have found this can turn a regular post into a frontpage post.) Yes, having the author do an AMA is very productive.
