late to change the name? Possibly deprecate it?
Yes.
Also D Programming Language does work well even for those that just call it D
since usually the page will also mention programming or languages. Must people
will use the full description at least once.
D has already made a name for itself, both good and bad. And if we did change
the name it would become 100% more difficult to find because everything would
be referencing the D programming language and not blah blah.
And there's all the libraries which start or end w/ d would need
renaming! :)
