Instead, you should learn D and then use it when you are ready.
That is troubling, but reasons to transition must exist or the
language would not exist, right? I find that if I "learn" a
language I forget it unless I actually start using it, at least
for a short while.

January 2016 is when I should have time to experiment with D. I
will attempt to install the language in Linux and kick the
tires for a while. If I continuously stumble into
insurmountable barriers, the experiment will end.
I meant there is no reason to abandon C++ in favor of D. The
lowest cost way to get started with D is to write some functions
in D and call them from C++. I personally don't like the term
"transition" because it implies significant cost.
