Hi,

just wanted to announce that Sony has finally made the new Playstation
Vita SDK available, as we were discussing some months ago.

The gamming industry seems to be slowing moving to C#. Would we still
be able to convince developers to move to D instead?

What I don't get is why no large software company is backing up D right now. It's quite clear by now that D is by far the language that has the best feature set to be the successor to C++.

It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem, but I suspect there is interest :)


If IBM for example was helping D like they did for eclipse, the traction would be huge and the toolchain would stabilize so much faster. :(

What exactly would mainstream developers do to stimulate such traction, and stabilise the toolchain as you are suggesting?
