Probably a simple mistake. Can you email whoever maintains that list?

Trove is a continual work in progress; expect another round of enhancements in the Programming Languages section of Trove in the next couple of weeks.  We've recently completed much larger changes to other sections of the Trove. ###########################################

I'd say if it isn't there by december 15 we hit him again with more comments on the request :)

I put in a request to add 'D' as a Trove language categorization some months back ... along with the info that they had "Assembly" mentioned twice. They corrected the "Assembler" redundancy, but obviously didn't add 'D'.

Part of me wonders, "how hard could it be to add 'D'", but I suppose they want to be cautious and selective about languages that they perceive to be below "critical mass".
