Uh-oh.
Yet more printf, without importing std.c.stdio...

It would be nice to have D beginners start by using
writef/readf, and not having to touch printf/scanf ?

What might be useful in the long run is to write some tutorials aimed at people who are already familiar with certain other languages.  I suppose that this would make most sense for the 'curly bracket family' languages (C, C++, C#, Java, whatever others), since they have enough in common with D that somebody could use knowledge of these languages as a starting point.

There are some humble beginnings of that, at:

C

C++

Java
  # nothing from Digital Mars here, AFAIK...
  http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?JavaToD


Not really full-fledged tutorials though, but more like code snippets ?

(they're just copyrighted, just as the rest of the D specification is)
