Is Warp written in D? I don't think it was made clear in the article.

It's clear when you read the full interview :/
Anyway congratulations, this is a great proof of D's power, and
also a nice vote of confidence from Facebook :)

I read quickly through the interview, and although they talked quite a bit about D, I never saw it specifically mentioned that Warp is written in D.

The very first link in the article is the github repository of source files, all of which are written in D.

It could be useful for me just this past week in a throw-away D program that I wrote (at work! :) ) to parse some C and C++ files very crudely.

This is awesome news, congrats! I hadn't thought of the possibility of Walter doing some work for Facebook. Between this and the Oculus VR buyout, Facebook keeps doing interesting stuff. This should surely be good for D.
