It might look like c++ but I can't say it 'feels' the same. The lack of header files in D immediately jumps to mind. D's module system is totatlly different from C++'s preprocessor. Ranges and slices are a big part in D programming that's a fair bit different than the way things are usually done in C++. Interfaces, Classes, structs are handled differently.

The similarities are more surface deep once you start learning more about the different features and tools D offers.
