Is this a big problem with D? I don't do stack overflow often,
but I try to check in every few days to check the D tag, and I
usually see answers there by the time I click it.
I don't think it is a big problem, 28 unanswered questions out of
just over a thousand isn't a terrible stat, but most of those
unanswered questions seem to have been there for months. About
1/2 of them have an answer, but are not marked as such. Often the
question isn't clear, or the answer is given as a comment.
I'm not saying that the D community is unresponsive, quite the
opposite is true, my main point was that one cannot dismiss the
value of discoverability.
