Now one of the top-voted links on the front page of HN.

Now I just need Andrei to finally do an interview, which he's been putting off for even longer. :) Got to fifth highest-voted link all-time from dlang.org on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byPopularity=false=0=all=story=false=dlang.org

Kinda like with that Jade/Diet fiasco a while back.

Now I just need Andrei to finally do an interview, which he's been putting off for even longer. :) Awesome work! Question about one of the comments, because I don't understand the hardware aspect of things. this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18607297 Pasted here: "Weka is a name of a Machine learning product from New Zealand. The IBM system had 24xHGST N200 SSD, 830 000 random read, 200 000 random write. that is 24 * 200 000 IOPS=4.8Million random writes. The Matrix system had 64x1.2TB Micron 9100 SSDs. 750 000 random read, 300 random writes. 64 * 300 000=19.2 Million IOPS Ok so you have benchmarked hardware with 4.8 Million write ops vs 19.2 Million write ops." Anyone know if that last line is correct?

Fantastic, I want to get more commercial uses like this highlighted on the blog- started another interview now with a financial/ML firm using D- so nobody can say D isn't being used. BTW, the top HN comment asks for more detail: tell him to click on the DConf links in the post for Liran's slides and videos. There's a surfeit of tech detail there, this is just an overview to get people started on learning more.
