There are many many ancient bugs, that you need to inherent
implicit knowledge to navigate, either those a) should actually
be fixed or b) the spec should make such knowledge explicit
On the other hand, I'd characterize the language as very nicely
designed, and the spec and Programming in D to be tremendously
helpful. The responsiveness and quality of comments on this
forum has always sufficed to fill in the gaps. Just recently a
submitted a bug on Phobos, which was quickly and kindly narrowed
down to something else (changed ldc2 default).
The community is the real treasure.
Can the spec be improved? No doubt. I hope you can find a way
to get the flaws you've found incorporated.
