As the writer of the main post that started this, I wanted to say, @jessekphillips
that I found nothing wrong with your post. As you said, it is generally helpful to have language comparison to see how another language might handle the same content. And so what if your tool of choice is different than your tool of choice. If anything it piqued my interest inD rather than detracted from it.
My personal problem come from those who dismiss beginner articles as was done in the thread “...and these annoying first post on python articles”. Rather than saying that any of it was of value, they outright claim them as annoying, and sure to them, they could be annoying especially if you have no use for them. But that sort of outright dismissal ignores how valuable beginner articles can be for those who are starting out or trying to deepen their knowledge in that language.
It seems in that you and I have the same approach in that way, so thank you for you posts and I look forward to more
The missing context here is that these articles about D seemed to be the first reply to a number of Python related posts. When I say the post is annoying it's not meant to be an attack or dismissal on the article. All I'm saying is that seeing "Hey, you seem to think python list comprehensions are readable. I don't see that and here's an article I wrote about it" on the bottom of a beginner article about Python leaves a bad taste my mouth.
Is the article about D useful? Absolutely. But I don't think posting it as a comparison to Python on an article that isn't about comparing programming languages is very helpful.
When given this fuller context I definitely get at your point! And I'll go ahead and apologize for my end of this business. If this is what you're getting at I 100% understand
