That's really neat. The author's coding style suggests that
he's new to D and coming from Java, as I was in a similar
place when I started with D and his code looks very similar to
some that I wrote back then.
I write the code in a same way, even though I first learned and
used C++ before switching to Java. Is it really that bad? I
know OOP isn't trendy nowadays and functional programming is
cool, but it's a very simple way to write software. I don't
think the fact you're not using "advanced" features makes the
code less cool.
OOP encourages use of inheritance (prefer composition over
inheritance) and the overuse of state, increasing the likelihood
of bugs. If you avoid those traps then it's a good paradigm.
