Hey folks, over the weekend I've redone

to count only unique IPs (over a 24 hour period) and completed downloads (bytes served == file size).

The shape is different from the one before, mainly because the China spike has disappeared. This is because countries in the APAC region have a lot fewer unique IPs and they relay on NAT to work around that. (That's 110% of my mastery of the subject.) But the trend is still on the up and up.

Could get even higher will more advocacy/articles/whatever on what D has got. I've personally seen so many positive reviews from people who've tried D.

Would also be more insightful to see it in currently monthly downloads.

What's the source of the data?  The dlang.org download page?  On macos, I think a lot of people use homebrew to install D which seems to get it from Github:


 stable do

Are you doing the plot with R? (plot(x,y))
Would be interesting to see it with log="y", if the resulting curve fits to a straight line, you know its exponential growth, with constant doubling time.

Good idea. I'm using gnuplot.

Than it should work with:
set logscale y
