Thanks for this initiative. It would be indeed awesome if this got a bit

One note about Walter's older C/C++ transition articles. They have good
information on transition technicalities (e.g. "how do I do this thing
in D that I used to do in C++?") but not a lot about the changes in
coding style - making object copying not arbitrarily expensive, choosing
struct vs. class, preferring pipelines and lazy to eager computation,
etc. From what I see some folks come from C++, write their first D
program in a stilted C++ idiom, and are left with the impression that
the work is not worth the trouble.
I could add something for Ruby but I'm not really sure what to add. The
the content for the existing languages is quite different compared with
each other.
