D is a nice language. It has a wide range of features, but one can get started with it without learning all of them. Here are a handful of D programs that use various features of the language and some of its libraries, on my blog. Most of them are simple command-line utilities to do various things. Readers may find them of use to get a flavor of the language and to know some of the kinds of things it can be used for. I used the DMD compiler to compile and run them on Windows. A few of the posts are about interviews too. Don't miss the interview where the creators or key people from the C++, Rust, D and Go languages talk to each other on a panel about some of the pros and cons of their respective languages - and incident near the end of the video, involving Bjarne Stroustrup (the LangNext video below).
