I don't mean to split hairs or beat a semantic horse here (or abuse metaphors ;)), but what about an example-heavy article that's about some programming technique and just happens to use D for all the examples (and uses D terminology when talking about the code)?

Or an article about using a particular library that's written for D?

Yes, that'd be cool!

That too!

What about tutorials? Allowed?

Yes to both.

This is the first draft of my (first?) article, a little number on using fibers in D.

It is just a first draft, I'd appreciate any feedback you can give.

I suggest to add values to the x scale too of the graphs.

I wanted to do this, for some reason I can't find an option in Google Spreadsheets to do it. I'd happily change the graph to show them if I could find out how.

I'd say it's worth hand-adding it using an image editor if you can't figure it out.  The graph absolutely needs the x axis to be worth anything.  Sorry, no idea how to do it in google spreadsheets.  You may want to try open office.

Another note, you should change noPeople and noNutrients to numPeople and numNutrients, because noPeople looks like "no people".

Hacked in a couple of numbers with an image editor, hopefully they all line up, I wouldn't count on it though.
