All these responses sound very sarcastic to me. Do you resent Walter making this suggestion for some reason? Or is it supposed to be funny? Because to me it kinda ceased being funny after the first one, and just started sounding mean-spirited.
It seems a very reasonable suggestion to me. In fact I don't think it's the first time he's suggested it. I've been putting something like that in my D files for a while -- or at least intending to. My coverage may not be 100%. I also think it's a good idea to put a link to digitalmars.com in the header so people know that its not one of those other D programming languages, like DTRACE's D.

I don't think anyone wanted to be sarcastic this time, but to show that we always hear on what Walter says and that it something we should all adapt. I guess everyone posted it like a (stupid) soldier just to make clear that this is such a good and simple idea, that it is more funny noone else came up with it earlier ;) best regards, Nicolai -- .71 nicolai dot waniek at sphere71 dot com |

Do you resent Walter making this suggestion for some reason? Or is it supposed to be funny? Because to me it kinda ceased being funny after the first one, and just started sounding mean-spirited. It's a classic Warcraft 2 reference, with all the humor that implies. It's supposed to be light-hearted and funny. I find a very genuine and kind humor in the juxtaposition of acting the role of the humble lab assistant or the surf in the field, as many of the folks that post here are very capable developers in their own right. As it is I'm 100% for following Walter's suggestion as it's a good one. :) > > It seems a very reasonable suggestion to me. In fact I don't think it's the first time he's suggested it.

If you would have chosen a better name for your language it wouldn't be necessary ;)
You still could...

Digital Mars Mars Compiler v2.003? Sounds odd, even though Mars is a nicer name than D.

Posted in reply to Clay Smith | I vote Pluto, as a tribute to our dear, departed friend *sheds a tear*.
But I still think "D" is a perfectly good name as it is; it's no harder to search for than, oh, say "C" or "C++" or "C#"

Digital Mars:
10) Glad it's iRAM
9) I am sad glitr
8) laid a Mrs, git?
7) gmail's triad
6) as dirt, gmail
5) it drags mail
4) I'd slam a grit
3) A grad's limit
2) sad grim tail
And the number one anagram name replacement for D:
Digital Mars: Grim IT Salad
