  • We need D as a second language sections completed
  • C and C++ need updating
  • we need more examples of how to shift idiom to speak fluent D
  • the Python page is started but needs fleshing out
  • and most of the other sections are empty.

One note about Walter's older C/C++ transition articles. They have good information on transition technicalities (e.g. "how do I do this thing in D that I used to do in C++?") but not a lot about the changes in coding style - making object copying not arbitrarily expensive, choosing struct vs. class, preferring pipelines and lazy to eager computation, etc. From what I see some folks come from C++, write their first D program in a stilted C++ idiom, and are left with the impression that the work is not worth the trouble.
