quick comments (from s.b. who has been recently learning D and cuda C++)
- Most important, and nota bene: I liked it!
- this seems to be targeted as a crossover guide for experienced c/java/C++/C# family devs, but written a little below that level (whereas tutorial would be for people that have some programming experience in any language
- top level summaries before you launch into litany of language features: what is the object model, are there entities that can be inherited, how do interfaces/traits/mixins? how does allocation/initialization/destruction/cleanup typically work?
- Needs to note conventions ("_" in file/directory names, 4 space soft tabs) vs things enforced by compiler/tooling
- needs inline references/footnotes/bibliography for H-M type inference, FP style pattern matching, i.e. the "new" FP concepts for people without haskell/ocaml/scala experience
