I keep getting more and more jealous of the few developers out there who are getting paid to write software in D.

I write D all day at Economic Modeling Specialists (www.economicmodeling.com) and we're always interested in resumes from experienced developers who know or want to learn D.

I wonder how many companies are using the language in production right now.

Should we start a page "They're using D" somewhere ?

This page has been the only remaining red link on the new D wiki for a while, so I created it:

http://wiki.dlang.org/Current_D_Use

Feel free to add to it. However, is it OK to add companies to such a list just because one person mentioned their company was using D?

Ask them officially first. They might see it as a win-win situation, since when programmers realize they can get real jobs in interesting fields using D, they might actually write resumes to those companies one day.

Who can edit that page? We use it to parse search engine queries by users and for serving (via fastcgi) webservice for our android/iphone app (approx 100.000 downloads). And other minor/internal things...

Anyone with a wiki account, which anyone should be able to create.

I'm mrjnewt from Reddit;  I read the newsgroups Mon-Fri and post infrequently.  The company I work for has been using D since 2008; we have quite a few important pieces written in D, including the API which powers our webtools, an extremely high performance economic simulation, and we're in the process of moving all of our backend data processes to D.

Nice ! Would you mind to give us the name of the company, if, obviously, this is compliant with the company policy ? I really do think this is a good way to promote both D and your company (probably not to customers, but to potential hire).

That's it.  We don't seem to have a developer-oriented "about" page, but here's some info about us: http://www.economicmodeling.com/about-emsi/

As far as hiring goes, we're interested in smart, self-guided people who have systems language experience.  We're at the forefront of our particular field, so we really need folks who can solve problems on their own, ask questions once, and not repeat mistakes.

Out of politeness to everyone else on the newsgroup I probably shouldn't be engaged in too much promotion here, but feel free to email me privately if you're curious or are interested in sending us your resume.

Disclaimer: I don't have any direct hiring power; I just really like working here.
