Re: German D Community?

It might make sense for the few companies to stir up some community. Promote D to students and get job candidates in return. Build a website mostly consisting of a job board and events calendar. Integrate Twitter, mailing list, etc to keep low-traffic connections to people. Wouldn't use it. If

DSource in the headlines? In 2014? Shocking, I know. Since Brad is no longer an active D user, and the website has had spotty uptime lately, I've offered to take over the hosting and any maintenance. Although opinions exist that the site should simply be shut down, I think archiving it would

Asking for feature names is a very bad choice, you're essentially excluding all beginners and it's almost impossible to google the answers (you want to exclude lazy uninterested humans, not all of them, right?). Besides, I thought D was supposed to be the type of language one should be able to
