Should D be considered a language that should be learned in its

Or should most developers stick to the "Safe D" subset?
After little bit over 20 years of using D I believe I
learned/used 60% of language features. - There are lots of things
I either do not need, or do not like, that I do not use. Language
is a tool, right - you use it the way you prefer to use it. My
intention was never to become a D language expert. I just want to
implement my next planned feature of my D application in a way
that suits me.
That is why always my recommendation for developers who are using
new language is - think of something "you need", and implement
that in this language. As long as you progress you will learn
those language features that you need, and that is all that
matters.
