In my opinion what I have explained in my answer is not obvious stuff, seeing how many solutions/programmers on Rosettacode fail. My point was that in my opinion there is no such single example that satisfies your requests, and that your requests are bad. If you put too much stuff in a single example, the result is not what I will call a good example for very public D code. So you have to put only a limited amount of stuff in the example, or you have to show more than one example. If you want a single example, the second on Wikipedia is the one I like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D_language#Example_2 Bye, bearophile Honestly I would rather meet a site that has several simple examples illustrating the capabilities of a language, instead of a single one, thats messy. -- // Yours sincerely // Emil 'Skeen' Madsen
It might be a good idea to offer a very simple code example near the top of the page to give the flavor of the language, together with a link to a page with further code examples. That page might live somewhere under the Overview navigation section, and might merge with the "Example: wc" page.
