Welcome, Igor! Your sentiments reflect mine years ago when I first discovered D. I came from a C/C++/Perl background. It was also Andrei's book that got me started; in those early days documentation was scant and I didn't know how to write idiomatic D code. But after I found TDPL, the rest was history. :-) > I have the same text in russian, but who has bothered russian(s)? We have a few Russians on this forum, and I can understand some Russian too.

That's good enough, I think. :-) T -- If the comments and the code disagree, it's likely that *both* are wrong. -- Christopher
