Hello Andrei, what do you think how good the download numbers are representing the popularity of D? Because I myself have downloaded the new compiler several times. One for work, one for home and one for the virtual machine I guess.

Oh the other hand, you have people like me who often skip new downloads but use D all the time anyway, and people who get them through third party package managers, etc. My gut feeling is that it probably basically balances out, so more downloads probably means more users, though we couldn't actually tell how many users by just looking at this.

Re: D compiler daily downloads at an all-time high
I'm loving this momentum. Think I've been watching / using D since around 2001 and its never had this much momentum. Something I've noticed over the last year or two is that other developers are more accepting of the fact that I'm that guy that likes D, and they actually ask constructive questions. Ten years ago that never happened, they would always get that dazed look in their eye and be dismissive. P.S. I'm also finding the latest compiler _way_ faster compiling vibe's diet templates.

Andrei There might be a November-bias, hard to say from 2 data points, but: I've been reading some very persuasive articles on popular programming forums about D in the last 2 weeks. In particular, Andrei's reply on Quora was very well written and highly quotable and the thread of Reddit was well received too. I'd say the current bump in downloads is probably a result of this good press. Cheers! SD
