D popularity clearly on the rise in early 2016?!

2016-02-06 Thread Rom via Digitalmars-d-announce

Hi guys.
I watch this index each month, and D moved 20 places up between 
January and February. it's now in the supposedly "top 20 most 
popular programming languages". I don't know yet whether this is 
due to some artefacts or if it reflects something true about D 
popularity.

Hope you enjoy

Hello everyone,


Following an increasing desire to focus on working on the D 
language and foundation, I have recently made the difficult 
decision to part ways with Facebook, my employer of five years 
and nine months.

Great news for D, this is a brave decision. I hope it'll push the 
language ahead.

Congratulations

D needs manpower ... such a shame there's so few of us...

Inspired by ponce idioms list for D I've set up something 
similar.
There are some themes in D which come up regulary and are 
discussed to the vomit. If something is agreed, it gets 
forgotten sometimes and the theme disappears into oblivion (for 
a few months :P). To prevent this, I've collected some 
hot-discussed themes, their history and their current state. I 
hope this helps to avoid unnecessary discussions in the future 
and finally cut off these issues (either with an official 
decision Nope, keep as it is or with an implementation).


I've tried to stay as objective as possible, but if something 
seems to be too subjective, please let me know, so I can fix it.

Re: Quick Start with D: few examples and set of links.

Congratulations on that web site : trendy stripped down and 
efficient style, greatly instructive and easy to read for the new 
comers. That's what i think the D language misses the most, if i 
may.
