I agree, but we need an intro to programming class using D as
the language in order to do that. Most of the materials for the
language assume you have programming experience. You can't just
say that D allows you to use pointers and other low-level
constructs, you have to explain what a pointer is and what you
do with it. The same goes for functional programming, OOP,
contracts, compile time, and so on. That's a big task. Ali's
book is great as an introduction to the language, but not
really sufficient as a beginning programming tutorial.
