Nice work everyone.
A lot of people have been holding out to play with D until
Christmas FYI.
It can also simple be that most people who used D before, had
time to upgrade to the newer version.
Its better to correlate the download rate with the rate of
posting in the Learn section, to see how many are really new
users. Ali's book downloads seems to have no noticeable
difference in this periode, something you normally expect with
new people trying out the language ( Especially as the
pdf/website book version is free ).
Another issue is that from those graph's the influence of the
2.072 release very fast dropped down again to pre-2.072. So one
can conclude there has been no followup.
