D is a fringe language, and it's not an easy one (system language and
all that),
so there's never shortage of unusual people in this newsgroup :-)
Java groups are so boooring compared to this one :-)

Do people seriously consider D a "difficult" language? Given that it
has garbage collection out of the box, builtin arrays, etc. I would
have guessed that most people only consider it to be of moderate
difficulty. Yes, you *can* do down-and-dirty programming with
pointers, manual memory management, etc. in it, but you don't *have
to* unless the nature of your problem domain would require it no
matter what the language.
Compared to C or C++ it's down right easy, but that's kind of like saying
climbing K2 is easy compared to going to the moon. (I wonder what more cash
has been spent on, the Apollo project or C++ IDEs?)
