This misses the "not previously published" rule by a few months, but I don't think anyone apart from me and the googlebot has read it yet. :-)  (I mostly wrote it for myself, as a vehicle for experimenting with semantic code highlighting and a style of documentation tied to source control history.)

Anyway the article itself is about my fumbling attempts at using templates/mixins/CTFE. It attempts to give a sense of what D is like, rather than being a how-to or in-depth exposition.

Cheers,

David Röthlisberger.

I'm afraid it does :-(

It's still a nice article and deserves a wider audience. Anyone care to do the honors and post a link to the article on Reddit?

I hope you'll write a followup article and submit it!
