The trouble is, while the downloads of the compiler are very popular, too few wind up buying the CD to make it possible to hire someone.

Should I start selling t-shirts? <g>

I myself find it impossible to play with a language, I need a project to do with it. Perhaps you're the same way. I can list some projects <g>.

Yeah, a good idea. With D logo and the text "C++ suxx!" on the back =)

Unfortunately, my brain got swallowed up by some audio DSP

VST API to D... hm, well, I suppose I could try...

Heh, I was thinking they should have the "Just what I need,
another D in programming" quote.

FWIW, if the T-shirt was reasonably cool-looking, preferably

Personally I'd prefer red on black, with a pentagram or two =)

Cyan on magenta would rock.  And be sure to enable blinking text!

When conversation switches to T-shirts, the language must already be becoming a mainstream fad.

Time to start working on D++.
