Hi all!

I'm a PHP programmer, and i've been searching for new languages to learn. I think D it's the best of the newest languages, due its good documentation, clean sintaxis (or less verbose), and the applications developed in D run fast. I've read a D application could run as fast as one devoloped in C++ if it's well optimized (this is what interests me most).

I think D has a good community wich is constantly growing. But i have not found good resources of it in my native language: spanish. It is for this reason that i was thinking on developing a D spanish forum in my own server, to help new programmers who don't speak english. I think a divided community takes longer to reach a target, and that is not my intention. I would like anyone who speaks english stays and make contributions here.


What do you think about it?

I don't speak Spanish, but I do like your idea of bringing D to more people :)
Two ideas:

1) You could help to translate the DLang Tour to Spanish:

https://tour.dlang.org
https://github.com/dlang-tour/spanish

2) StackOverflow has an excellent PageRank and thus many communities are moving there discussions over as it helps to increase their visibility and searchability. I don't know how good the spanish StackOverflow is, but it might be easier than maintaining a forum yourself?

Thanks Seb. I'll look at the DLang Tour.

On the other hand, i think a forum will be better, not only to help, but also to keep D programmers closer and expectant for news. Although, you are right, StackOverflow would be better to increase searchability and easier than maintaining a forum. I'll keep that in mind before taking a decision. Thanks!
