I've found some links which show that D used to be in the

Why did it disappear from there and can we put it back?
It is a great sanity check for a new user to be able to see that a
language and its implementation aren't a dog.
I *expect* that D's performance is similar to C/C++ when used in the
same fashion (i.e. functions and structs, rather than classes and
delegates). I would like to be able to confirm this.
The maintainer of that site has discussed why D is no longer included on
the D newsgroup:

And various other responses. The conversation happened on Nov-1-2010, so
you can search the archives for it.
