They give you the data and you can filter it yourself. I'd count about a dozen languages ahead of D in that ranking that D isn't competing with and probably never will compete with. XSLT and CSS, not a chance. Dart, mostly not. Javascript is still mostly for web browsers -- though it would be interesting to create an HTML API for D and hook up emscripten. Not necessarily *useful*, mind, but interesting all the same. > Come on,... for a language with no big company behind, I would > congratulate D for his surviving and high ranking. People tend to want to get things done. Corporate support helps me get things done. It also helps with the perception of the language as a serious option. So, yes, congratulations, but I'm still wishing for a large company to throw its weight behind D.
