Ah I've heard about D sharing syntanx between languages. I can see that now haha. That had my confused

dup and reverse are function calls. But you don't need to put empty parentheses like in dup(), if you don't pass arguments.

to!string(n) is a template function call with string as parameter (no parentheses required for a single parameter) and n as argument.

ulong is unsigned long long int. etc.

There are more small differences, but once you learn them, D will appear much like C++ and C. At least it does, to me.

Here's my python solution.

import time
start = time.time()
ls = []

for i in xrange(999, 100, -1):
    for ii in xrange(i, 100, -1):
        string = str(i * ii)
        if string[len(string) - 1 : len(string)] == string[0 : 1]:
            if string[len(string) - 2 : len(string) - 1] == string[1 : 2]:
                if len(string) > 5:
                    if string[len(string) - 3 : len(string) - 2 ] == string[2 : 3]:
                        ls.append(string)
                        break
                else:
                    ls.append(string)
                    break

print ls

max = 0
for i in xrange(0, len(ls) - 1):
   if (int(ls[i]) > max):
       max = int(ls[i])

print max
print " took " + str(time.time() - start) + "seconds"

Not perfect, but it works.
