Nope. Never trolled anyone. Also never said anything about the US.

It's a childish americanism comparable to the n word or the f word. understand. In America nearly every second word can have some sexual connotation. As if there weren't already too much of them. I personally find even the word "dick" far fetched to have that meaning. If you need a one-letter abbreviation, I would say it's the "P"-word. If you'd ask me, D is about the 13th letter that would come to mind to have some sexual meaning. Halve the latin alphabet is more likely to be misinterpreted that way. God hates America. Ola Fosheim Grøstad is a full-time troll here. Don't take him too seriously. This thread is going off the rails. Maybe he is a troll (I don't read most of the posts here, so I can't say) but (a) he is correct, and (b) the posts preceding yours were obvious troll posts that added nothing to the conversation. | |||

Maybe he is a troll (I don't read most of the posts here, so I can't say) Actually, I've never trolled anyone in the D forums ever. I can see why some people want to think that, but it isn't actually true. (Wishful thinking.) But I do view this thread as both serious and humorous. I think a slogan works better if there is humour in it. You have to try many mottos to get there. Brainstorming, throw in many wild things and someone will find inspiration and find one that does get attention. I think slogans on webpages only work if they peak curiosity. "What do they mean??? I have to look further.". Basically something that makes the random visitor stop for a second. | |||

So, assuming you are not trolling me, what is your suggestion for a motto? I don't have much to add on topic. I think WebFreak001's [1] and Ben Jones' [2] suggestions at the beginning of the thread were probably the best I've read. [1] https://forum.dlang.org/post/smblowopmaajomehsmqx@forum.dlang.org | |||

"From prototype to production" I don't think it's that good as a motto. A good motto should serve two purposes:
Rudy's "Empowering everyone to write reliable and efficient software" is too long, not catchy enough, but it is descriptive and it gives a general direction. | |||
