anyone feel like making an eloquent plea for the include of "our" D in these

Yah I know. I'm hoping I can con a better writer than me into coning those 
people into including D (joking about the conning)

As an aside, does anyone known of a language that had a bigger following 
than D while still <1.0?

I email Eric Levenez about once a year asking him to put D on his list. 
His latest reply says he didn't think D was important because it wasn't 
on this page:

http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/comp.lang-statistics/

(which it wouldn't be on because there is no comp.lang.d -- Walter). He 
doesn't think the Tiobe ranking is meaningful.

I did (there are roughly 100,000 D postings here!). But I don't expect a 
reply.

The other guy's email address is invalid (for 
http://people.ku.edu/~nkinners/LangList/Extras/langlist.htm)

The O'Reilly wiki says to edit just click the edit button, but there is 
no edit button.

where are the rest? I've only found 57K going back to ~4/04. Are there actual 
40K posts on D outside the digitalmars.D tree?

That's alright.  There are some forces in the universe greater than any
of us.

It's not your fault they picked a silly name :3

What I'm waiting for is a book on LOLCAT by O'RELLY ;)
