D did seem to pop up in the comments a fair bit, which is certainly
interesting. 
However, the interview itself said very little about Go other than why they 
decided to create it. If I were looking to find out much about Go, it sure 
wouldn't help much. It seems primarily to be of interest in informing you of 
Go's existence. But than again, I suppose that a lot of those type of
interviews 
are pretty sparse on info that's actually interesting. It's hard to cover any 
real meat of a language in such a small, informal space.

It was nice to see support for D in the comments though. In fact, I don't think 
that there was a lot of support for Go there, oddly enough.

Although the comments contain praise that's definitely underserved, it 
was heartwarming to see D get so much love. I decided to not participate 
to that thread (though I'm itching to). But, FWIW I'll have a (longer) 
interview on InformIT.com in which Eric Niebler grills me with questions 
about D. I can't wait to see it out.
