After my post, a fellow going by Biotronic on Exercism came along 
and cleared out the queue. Much appreciated!

Hello,

I've recently decided to pick up D, and have started doing some 
exercises on
https://exercism.io/ (a non-profit programming exercise 
platform), which I think is an excellent way to pick up the 
basics in a new language.


While doing the exercises on my own is rewarding already, I 
would greatly appreciate if someone would want to pick up the 
mantle of mentor in D over there. Evidently someone liked the 
idea at one point enough to contribute D versions of a lot of 
the exercises, but based on progress of the queue, nobody is 
checking it frequently at the moment.


I've been doing some mentoring there myself, for Python and 
Bash, and I think it's quite fun, and I learn a lot that way. 
It forces me to regularly think hard about the basics, trying 
to give considered advice to beginners.


Anyway, if someone would be willing to give it a go, you can go 
to https://exercism.io/become-a-mentor and follow the 
instructions there.


Thanks,
Björn


This is a great idea. I didn't know about https://exercism.io/
I've got a lot on my plate in the following weeks, but I'll try to
make some time to mentor.

I hope others in the community will join as well.

Cheers,
Edi
