 - well this is quite a controversal statement

d is big language. but : 1. it's library support is not. (dsource.org is messed up, some library is alpha, beta, abandoned, incomplete, not compile etc). to make D big enough , people must abandon or combine their own project and make ONE standard library(gui, network, container, web support, logging, and soon) and ship with compiler. so application developer even a beginner like me can start using it. 2. binary support is not. D binary must be able to call at least D binary cleanly. dll call dll. i think there must be no such this : fp = GetProcAddress(h, "D5mydll10getMyClassFZC5mydll7MyClass"); remember i am a junior compare to you.

There's an update to dsource.org in the works that will make it a lot easier to sort out the active stable stuff from everything else.

*Should be* coming soon. The only things we still wanted to take care of before launching the updated site were some updates to the statistics (which someone else has been helping Brad with, and I think he's finished now) and getting the forums moved over (I recently updated the tool to do the forum conversion, and it seems to work fine now, but I haven't been able to actually test its output since I've been having trouble getting TracForums set up on my local system, so unless I get that sorted out it'll be up to Brad to test it). Beyond that, the only thing left to do, AFAIK, is to actually push the updates live.
