I'm coming from a C++ background so I'm not too used to

close the socket, and the socket object goes out of scope.
Thank you for the advice everyone.
The hardest part about learning D isn't the language, or how to
program, it's unlearning what you know from C++ and learning
the proper way to do things in D. I've tried D several times
before and eventually stopped when I get to the stage of "how
do I do this c++ thing in d" proves to be hard.
Instead this time, I've started writing D programs as "better
C" and then slowly started adding in higher level d features.
It's going much better as I'm no longer trying so hard to write
bad C++ in D :)
Heh, there's no reason you can't, you'll just cause a few head
scratches when you post code while we figure out what it does.
Idiomatic D is rather different to C++ and is centered around
ranges + algorithms, but you can write code in pretty much any
style. Some of the advanced metaprogramming takes a bit to get
your head around.
If you do get stuck do post a question here, we're more than
happy to help.
