On the reddit or Hacker News thread (congratulations on getting
approval from Symantec - v exciting) there was a guy from
Netflix who said he was using D there, I think for data science.
If he reads this, or someone has time to contact him, would be
great to have their approval to add them to organisations using
D as Netflix seems to be well thought of technically. It was a
great idea also to put this on the front page, because as
Andrei said people use heuristics to avoid having to look into
a new language and the fact large enterprises do use D makes
one common selling objection go away.

He said he was using it at Netflix for machine learning,
actually. And he commented in reply this comment of mine (in that
same HN thread about DMD now being fully open source):

in which I linked to this earlier Ask HN by me:
Ask HN: What are you using D (language) for?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12193828
There were some interesting replies about how people were using D
in that thread.
