Why is this field unpopular among (D)evelopers?
I work with NLP almost all the time and D is very well suited for it. It's mainly text-to-speech stuff, but I have a tiny POS tagger (or rather POS identifier) as well.
D would be well suited for creating higher, simpler rule languages that linguists who have no clue about programming could easily use. I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I wish I had the time to come up with something and implement it. I'm thinking of a suite that would cater for the various aspects of NLP, e.g. phonemic transcriptions, POS tagging, morphological and grammatical analysis, collocation etc. A one stop shop for linguists. But, alas, time is scarce.
If you have any ideas, please share.
