Allocators might be a good addition to the articles pages on the website. Not sure if this has been discussed or if we are adding much there. You may also consider making a PR to the Dlang Tour: https://tour.dlang.org There's already an open issue about a "@nogc gem": https://github.com/dlang-tour/english/issues/10

I'd say it's one of those things where if you are asking about it, you probably don't need it. I don't think there is such a thing as "hello world"[1] because memory allocation is an advanced topic. Maybe a better question is what you plan to do with D, because in my opinion, most users don't need to worry about it. [1] There might be "hello world" for usage, but not for motivation.
