digitalmars.D.announce - Minor note, D on NASA Goddard software page

Hi D

Just a minor note.  My simple bindings for the NASA Common Data 
Format (CDF) library are listed on the user supplied software 
page:

https://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/html/user_supplied_sw.html (scroll down)

The library itself is absolutely nothing to crow about. The only 
useful thing it does is provide real functions for what is 
largely a C macro based low-level interface, but it's nice to see 
D mentioned on a NASA site.

Maybe someday I'll have time to write a pure D implementation of 
CDF handling to support threaded web services, but for now simple 
bindings are a start.

So now we can add NASA in the list of organisations that use D, right?...

Well not quite yet*, but it is supporting a few payloads on some rather well known robotic spacecraft. *AFAIK
