Today at DConf we learned, once again, that people are doing and
starting amazing projects using D. A lot of which wouldn't have
been possible without your contribution. So I just wanted to say
thank you.

For those who don't know Kenji because he rarely posts on the 
forums, Brad put up a slide at Dconf yesterday showing the top 
committers by pull requests over the last three years and Kenji 
was at the top for '12 and '13.  He was second so far this year, 
after Andrej.

I don't know if he watched the livestream but Walter took a 
minute to thank him for his contributions.

Not only a prolific committer, but also an incredibly reactive one. On
many occasions, someone saw a bug, reported it, and Kenji did a pull
request correcting the bug, *mere hours after it was reported*.

Thanks a lot, Kenji Hara! D would not be what it is today without your
commitment.

That's for sure!
Thank you also from myself, and from all of us in my company that 
are using D!

So again: Thank you Kenji Hara!

This has happened several times to me. If memory serves me well, 
the record was under 30mins from report to pull request.

Kenji rox.

IIRC that's not right, he's still the top contributor this year. I may
have just merged more pulls, but that was a different slide.

Anyway I thought the talk was great, nice to see the face behind the
awesome autotester technology.

There is word out there that Kenji Hara and bearophile are the same 
person. (I think it is the same AI running on a powerful server farm. :p)

If anyone deserves thanks from the whole D community it is Kenji.

I have to follow up on this. Of all bugs that have been issues for me, 
Kenji fixed the most of them. Thank you very much for your awesome work 
Kenji.

ideas. Thank you Kenji for your quite sharp mind and for all your 
work.

Add me to the list of people that are grateful for Kenji's work.

Not only does he fix a shit ton of bugs, he does so in a reliable 
fashion. If you have an issue blocking you, and you bring it to 
his attention, you *know* it will be fixed. This makes him an 
incredible asset to the D team.

Well, I won't mention names, but I think *everyone* who works 
regularly on D deserves thanks too. You know who you guys are :)

YES! D is incomparably better off ever since Kenji started to 
participate to it.

Seconded.

Kenji is literally the only way I could remotely consider myself to be a  
language designer or compiler developer. It's amazing how you can just  
think up a feature, and magically the great Kenji implements it exactly  
how you envisioned it.

Thanks!
