Firstly, wow, the site looks beautiful. It has an air of professionality to it, but stays minimal and to the point. I think it'd be best if there was a code example above the fold though (e.g. how basically every programming language website does it nowadays), such as the word length snippet on the index of dlang.org as of now.
Yeah, that's why I was mentioning something about hosting drepl on the site. One of the first things you see should be D code you can run from your browser.
Maybe it'd be good to have something about CTFE/more on templates in the "Convenience" or "Power" section, as that has gotten much more useful in the language the past year or two. Also, I assume a good amount of work has to be done porting the rest of the site over (the community and documentation sections don't seem to be implemented).
I just copied the text from the current website for now. I'm not a great copy writer myself. Someone else could surely do a better job of that.
Again, fantastic job :) it's great to see people taking initiative. Hopefully dlang.org can get a facelift in the near future. I'd be happy to spend some time working on porting more of the site if it gets a "green light" from upper management to be a replacement.
Cool. I'll glady copy a bunch of pages into diet templates or whatever myself. I kind of need to do some of that anyway to make sure everything fits on the page as it should.
