   Hi, How did you manage to get them to pay you hourly to create a project plan? What did you propose? I also need to do this for my venture but never clicks. Please share some advice. Thank you.

    Dear Walter, Thank you for the great work you are doing. If you could get people to include D in the benchmarks / shootouts that get published it would help improve the popularity of D. FYI - Thatneedle.com already uses it for part of

    I have tried D, loved the language but I feel the ecosystem and environment issues need to be addressed asap. Here are a few inputs (1) setting up env different operating systems eg GNU/linux variants. Compilers ldc, etc are not really

    outsourcing search to Bing certainly didn't help. Not sure they had much to lose in search.
