As a long time D fanboy I was known to say "That is quite
simple in D" a lot at work!
Now I was finally able to convience my boss (our CTO) to take a
serious look at D as a replacement for the parts of our
infrastructure that use nodejs right now.
After my series of blog posts about this topic and a short
presentation I did in the office he finally announced quite
publicly today that we are in fact going to use D:

So our next online game will be powered by some parts in D ;)
Yay!
Exciting times!
A couple of weeks have past and I wanted to give you a follow up:
After a few of days watching and ironing out some quirks our
company officially launched the first component in our framework
that is actually D based:

In the back there are already 3 separate webservices that are
built upon vibe.d running in the amazon cloud.
We really like how clean the design became and how well it
scales. The next services are already planned.
These are all new components that we used to give D an honest try
and we are already confident that the existing (old) modules will
gradually be reimplemented using D. This is great stuff for my
dconf talk!
