I am new to D and have been reading about and playing with
it today, but I was wondering will there be a C++ style
iostream module? I have looked for something like this and
cannot find it for D. Did I miss it or does it just not exist?

Thanks.

It does not exist<curmudgeonly>, thankfully</curmudgeonly>

If by "C++ style" you mean using '<<' and '>>', that is optionally implemented in Kris's DSC.IO library (turned on or off via the versioning system).  If you simply mean an object-oriented stream library, then we have std.stream in Phobos, and again DSC.IO (still in beta).

My understanding would be an I/O library with the near-enough general L&F of C++ iostream.  Which could mean having operators that are used like iostream's << and >>.

Further, it could mean having formatted output capabilities.  I believe Dsc.io has this, but I'm still yet to explore it in enough detail....
