The primary thing that is holding me from using D more is the lack of up-to-date x86_64 D2 compiler. We often work with large data sets, so a virtual address space of 4GB is too small. Other than that it seems very useful for many NLP tasks: nearly as fast as C++, but much quicker to write. Take care, Daniel
