You know that I have spent many months to write a large group of mostly functional-style open source libs for D 1.x (quite more complete and smarter than the stuff in std.algorithm of 2.x, but possibly a bit slower), and on my blog I have discussed many times about this topic, showing usage examples too. So writing another smallish article about such usages seems possible.
But that article looks mostly about LINQ, that's much better (mostly because it's more integrated and pervasive in the language and systems usable from it, like the DBMS) than anything I can create with D. So maybe a comparison will not show many advantages compared to that LINQ code...
If someone else has some suggestions I'll willing to listen to them.
Bye and thank you for the suggestion,

But the thing you linked is a blog. And the DDJ "articles" are blog entries too. Or am I missing something? Sean |

You can write articles on a blog too, but the problem is that it's a lot of time I don't write a "real" article on D, and that my blog has just 3 readers ;-)

I tend to regard a "blog" entry as something rather short and superficial, and an "article" as something that's longer and gives a more thorough treatment.
Articles can also be placed where the readership is high, blog entries generally cannot be.

LINQ should actually be possible in D without language integration.
For example, with CTFE/templates this should be possible in D right now:
struct Employee {
string name;
int id;
}
Employee[] employees;
//...
auto rows = mixin(query("SELECT name, id FROM employees WHERE id > 5"));
foreach(row; rows)
writefln("%d - %s", row.id, row.name);
