A Python syntax wrapper around D is a fun thing. It's also
suggested as a fun project to work in the D Programming Language
book by Andrei. [1]
If you're coming to D from Python though, I suppose my suggestion
would to try and get used to the C-like syntax. If C-like syntax
is unusual for you, you'll get used to it eventually. It is nice
sometimes in D to be able to use braces to declare an arbitrary
scope and so on, and the braces tie in pretty well with closure
syntax. You'll get used to it.
