I think it would be useful to add on dlang.org a section to show how d is used in production. I can't find any page about it. It seems an accademic-only programming language! |

Maybe we could share projects here on the list, and someone (maybe the original poster) could gather them into a Wiki page?

What do you mean by production?
Open source project? Freeware applications?
Does commercial projects counts?

I would have expected "in production" to _only_ mean commercial projects.

I've written a proxy server for services like Rapidshare, TurboBit (etc) in D as a paid job. (Running for example here: http://mydevil.net:2550/). Does it count as a commercial product? Can I share works I've done in D, assuming that I am a freelancer? Or it's more company-only topic ;) Thanks :) Best Regards, Damian Ziemba |

I wouldn't. But that is probably a definition thing. If I'd written say Wikipedia in it, that would qualify as production use, too.

As Tobias pointed out, there are many non-profit organizations running on open source software that are well-known. -- Alex Rønne Petersen alex@lycus.org http://lycus.org |

Posted in reply to Tobias Pankrath | If you take a good project/library/service, on their homepage (not wiki) there's always a list of production projects (that means: "it's not currently in development but it's public and completed") that use it. For example, mongodb. On its homepage there's a list of production users and a link named "more productions users" that point here: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Production+Deployments Check rails: http://rubyonrails.org/ it has "who is already on rails?" in homepage Another one? http://hadoop.apache.org/ in homepage: "Who Uses Hadoop?" Also amazon aws on its homepage has this section. If I visit dlang.org i think: "Ok, nice language but it works in real world for real projects or it's just a toy language?" My company uses D for a "natural language parser" i've written for our internal search engine (our users search - in italian - "restaurants in the province of Venice opened on Valentine's day" and my parser translates that phrase in a query) On Wednesday, 27 June 2012 at 21:56:30 UTC, Tobias Pankrath wrote: > On Wednesday, 27 June 2012 at 21:33:20 UTC, Jonathan M Davis wrote: >> On Wednesday, June 27, 2012 23:00:58 nazriel wrote: >>> On Wednesday, 27 June 2012 at 08:53:14 UTC, Andrea Fontana wrote: >>> > I think it would be useful to add on dlang.org a section to >>> > show how d is used in production.

Posted in reply to Jonathan M Davis | In production it's just a way to say "completed, not still in pre-alpha/alpha/beta/testing phase". Usable. Working. Public :)
No difference between commercial, open source, free, etc ...
