One thing I've noticed about D vs other languages which are getting more interest is that we do not have a list of "companies actually using D in production" on our homepage.   While I know that there are quite a few development companies using go, we are not actively soliciting them for using their badges.

E.g. Why don't we have a link to Facebook on our homepage?

If you go someplace like http://msgpack.org/ you can clearly see a number of companies who effectively use msgpack in production and quotes from them.

We should setup something like that on our homepage.

So... Who all is using D in production?

I know that this isn't what you're looking for because it lists people who use D, but you may find it interesting anyways: http://wiki.dlang.org/Current_D_Use

It seems I've been misunderstood/typed the message poorly.   A lot of languages are being used because there are examples of other companies using the language in production.

D is being used in production, but we are not actively advertising who is using it and for what.

I think we should.
