1. i like D very much1
2. I only recently got some time to start exploring it and i have a
question:
i have this code:

class Cout
{
 Cout opShl(char[] x)
 {
  printf("%.*s",x);
  return this;
 }
 Cout opShl(int x)
 {
  printf("%d",x);
  return this;
 }
    ...
}

The idea is to make a class cout that would act like c++ cout.
Is there any way to write something like:
Cout opShl(Cout c,A f)
{
       //printf that prints object f of type A
  return c;
}

it doesn't work the way i would like it, i have to explicitly call the function ti print type A!

opShl_r will make you happy!

what if you have a toString() function in A
and then call
printf( f.toString());

Phill.
