I think it would be useful to add on dlang.org a section to show how d is used in production. I can't find any page about it. It seems an accademic-only programming language!

I've written a proxy server for services like Rapidshare, TurboBit (etc) in D as a paid job. (Running for example here: http://mydevil.net:2550/). Does it count as a commercial product? Can I share works I've done in D, assuming that I am a freelancer?

If you take a good project/library/service, on their homepage (not wiki) there's always a list of production projects (that means: "it's not currently in development but it's public and completed") that use it. For example, mongodb. On its homepage there's a list of production users and a link named "more productions users" that point here: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Production+Deployments Check rails: http://rubyonrails.org/ it has "who is already on rails?" in homepage Another one? http://hadoop.apache.org/ in homepage: "Who Uses Hadoop?" Also amazon aws on its homepage has this section. If I visit dlang.org i think: "Ok, nice language but it works in real world for real projects or it's just a toy language?" My company uses D for a "natural language parser" i've written for our internal search engine (our users search - in italian - "restaurants in the province of Venice opened on Valentine's day" and my parser translates that phrase in a query) On Wednesday, 27 June 2012 at 21:56:30 UTC, Tobias Pankrath wrote:On Wednesday, 27 June 2012 at 21:33:20 UTC, Jonathan M Davis wrote:On Wednesday, June 27, 2012 23:00:58 nazriel wrote:I wouldn't.

If it's used daily in an open source project which is in turn used in commercial or non profit applications, it qualifies for production use. If it's a critical software for whatever use, being internal to a company or a non profit group (wikipedia for instance), running 24/7, then I think it also qualifies for production use. No need to split hair here.On 27-06-2012 23:31, Jonathan M Davis wrote:Oh, I wasn't suggesting that we only highlight commercial projects.

In production it's just a way to say "completed, not still in pre-alpha/alpha/beta/testing phase". Usable. Working. Public :) No difference between commercial, open source, free, etc ...

Also a lot of software is being used by the general public but still have the Alpha/Beta tag. But I think "Usable. Working. Public" is a good definition. Cheers, Jakob.
