I agree it's time to remove comparisons with C++, although there is room for a "D for C++ Programmers" section and, of course, "Interfacing D to C++".

I am going to vote with Adam here.  If memory serves me correctly what initially drew me in to the D language was a statement on the main page that "D is not a religion".  I think at the time I had been doing some work with Java, where everything had to be an object. Man, I hate Java for that.

Also, I think saying if you don't like functional programming you will miss 'most' of what D has to offer is really selling the language short.  After all you can write C or C++ style code in D if you want, which may be very attractive to some folks.

I was going to fix that, but can't find where it is on github. The "Open Source" links to https://github.com/stonemaster/dlang-tour, but it isn't there.

Found it here:

Oh, I see the problem. I was looking at:

https://github.com/stonemaster/dlang-tour

when I should have looked at:

https://github.com/dlang-tour

Looks like the link at https://tour.dlang.org/ needs fixing?

Thanks! Note that the other languages need updating, too.
