I don't imagine many new users read these forums frequently, and this is the only place it's been posted AFAIK.
Also, that could be interpreted as users like D enough that they continue to use it for a long time, also nice. :P

If you look at the past polls, the new users appear to be declining. I agree, most newbies probably don't get involved in the dev forum, hence suggesting it should probably be posted in some other places too.

Posted in reply to Manu | Thus far according to the poll, it looks like there hasn't been much growth in terms of new users, and a good number of people have stuck around for a number of years. We should take more measurements on the number of new users. I swear that I've seen a lot of new people in the IRC channel and a few new people on the forums. |

Brand new user, wrote my first D program today. It preformed the same task as a python program I had laying around. I wanted to see if a compiled language could as terse the python syntax I've grown accustomed to. Well, I'm happy to say the D program was one line shorter! Not bad.
I've programmed python for over 10 years and was considering diving into Java since the C standard library is so tiny and it has no standard cross-platform GUI toolkit. I'd say D is looking pretty good, now if it just hand a standard GUI library...
(Side note: I entered a fake email address, is that a no-no one this list?)

There were reports on an ongoing work on Qt bindings, you might want to help with that. On Thursday, 24 April 2014 at 09:06:13 UTC, Nick Sabalausky wrote: > It's fine, many of us do that.
