BrightD, was suggested by Pavel.  D could simply be the shortend name. Nobody goes searching for "gl", they normally use the name "openGL".

Hm... I didn't! =) I always call it D - short and clear.
Don't remember who was the original author of BrightD,
though (then maybe just call it Bright?).

Yes it's hard to search for stuff on D.  I use "D language" as as search term but it's not a perfect solution.

Sorry, I forget who it was. It wan't me, but I think it's a good idea.

Yes and all kinds of "Ph D." and similiar comes up.

True. And also C++, because the plus sign is handled as special by all
search engines.
But now we have the power to solve this problem "at it's root".
Or is the name set already too firmly?

I get good results by searching for "D programming language" or "programming language D".
