D has had a spectacular rise there, but the headlines just mention Ruby :-(

Phhht!  D's not even in the "language of the year" runners-up.  But SAS is? 
I don't even know what the language is.  It's a racket, I tell you.  ;)

Would it really be great for D to rise even faster? like getting 5% in a few 
months?
I'm not really into making languages :D, but even a simple thing like 
network load (>dsource)...
... overpopulated newsgroups, with maybe different expectations.
Just interested in how you think about this.

I hear you, hitting way up there before 1.0 might be a "bad thing".

Note that Ruby before RoRails was nearly unknown even if it is a very 
interesting language in itself.

Of course Ruby is a very different language with a very different target 
so what was true for Ruby is not necessarily true for D..


That said Tiobe is weird: SAS? ABAP?
Never heard about them.

I pretty sure SAS is a proprietary programming language/system for 
statistics.  Something like Matlab, but specifically for statistics.
