I thought that D was a good first language to teach, so I've started to write a tutorial; but I am having big difficultly extracting the semantics of arrays and slices. I still can't understand how to explain dynamic arrays and slices even to myself yet. :D Could anyone point me to documentation that would clarify these issues for me, for a person who thinks he knows C and C++ arrays and vectors pretty well? :p Andrei, can we review your chapter on arrays please? ;) Thank you, Ali
