One more question - an untapped audience.

[Steve Teale]

What can be done to capture the attention of young people in the 
developing world?

Probably the most effective thing would be if it were possible to 
edit, compile, and run D programs on a cheap Android ARM phone.

Is this within the bounds of possibility?

There are millions of unemployed, bored, restless, and ambitious 
young men out there, who have saved their all to buy a cheap 
smartphone.

Any other ideas?
