Wow, the reddit thing is going absolutely nuts. I wish reddit's format was more readable, it is so hard to find new stuff among the mess of a tree layout :(

Congratulations! Thanks Andrei for pushing hard a Facebook and thanks to all core D devs for their hard work too.

Looking forward to the blog post...and the day I can code at work in D

Will we get to hear more about this at C++ and Beyond and maybe a whole D talk?

Agree.

You might want to try a userscript I forked, which:
1. Highlights unread comments.
2. Allows to navigate through unread comments with Ctrl + Up / Ctrl + Down.
