I just dabble in programming for fun.  About a year and a half 
ago I started to learn C.  Fell in love with it.  It was the 
first language that I got excited about.  Before that, many 
decades ago in college, I learned Pascal and really enjoyed it.  
I just came across D because I wanted to try something new.  Wow, 
is all I can say.  I am super excited to learn this language.  I 
love the C style syntax but I also see the pascal come out from 
time to time (good old writeln).  D seems to be blending so many 
wonderful things together.

With all that said, I hope D will catch on with more and more.  I 
see it has a future and more people need to get their hands dirty 
with it.  I believe people will love it once they try it.

Anyways, just wanted to share my excitement about my new 
adventure in learning, what seems to be, an awesome language.

This is more typical.. I told many times that D should be promoted as the best hobby language :)

Under the hood the Dlang's writeln is much more powerfull than its Pascal equivalent (based on an obscure, sorry about being a bit opiniated here..., construct called "array of const"). The D version is interesting because it's a variadic template. Anyway I let you discover that.
