The official D pages have:

"Converting C to D"
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/ctod.html

"Converting C++ to D"
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/cpptod.html


Anyone like to help out with:

"Converting Java to D"
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?JavaToD

It would be for people who grew up on Java first,
and has never seen *either* of C or C++ before ?

I think it would actually be a lot easier than
for instance doing a "Java to C++" introduction.

It would be good to feature some Java snippets and their equivalents in D, rather like the C and C++ pages on the DM site.  I'll have a go at it.

We probably ought to have structs and unions as separate sections.  The structs section would describe how structs are different from classes, and then once the reader has got his/her/its head around this, the unions section would describe how unions are different again.

Excellent!
