I picked up D to start learning maybe a couple of years ago. I
found Ali's book, Andrei's book, github source code (including
for Phobos), and asking here to be the best resources. The
docs make perfect sense when you have got to a certain level
(or perhaps if you have a computer sciencey background), but
can be tough before that (though they are getting better).
You should definitely take a look at the dlangscience project
organized by John Colvin and others.
If you like ipython/jupyter also see his pydmagic - write D
inline in a notebook.
I saw the dlangscience project on GitHub the other day. I've yet
to venture deeper. The inlining of D in jupyter notebooks sure is
cool, but I'm not sure it's very useful for me, Python feels more
succinct for notebook use. Still, I really appreciate the effort
put into that, it's really cool!
You may find this series of posts interesting too - another
bioinformatics guy migrating from Python:

I'll have a look at that series of posts, thanks for the heads-up!
Unfortunately I haven't time to read your code, and others will
do better. But do you use .reserve() ? Also these are a nice
fast container library based on Andrei Alexandrescu's allocator:

Not familiar with .reserve(), nor Andrei's allocator library.
I'll put that in the stuff-to-read-about-queue for now. :) Thanks
for your tips!
