I'm just curious as to what media are being successful in attracting people to D.  Is it:

- word of mouth
- articles in mags, online (Matthew, I'm looking in your direction here)
- slashdot (did the trick for me a year ago)
- other?

I've seen a lot of new posts and contributors in the last few months and was wondering what caused the traffic.

Cheers,
Brad

All of the above...

Google [ "Programming Language" ] brought me here a year and a half ago. I assisted in bringing you here by way of slashdot. I've tried to do the same on numerous other occasions since then, but they continue to ignore my posts. Took somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 attempts last time, but I'm afraid they're not as easily persuaded this time around.

I don't know that I can tell you how well the articles are going? Walter would have to try and analyse any spikes/ramps in the web traffic on or around the publication of articles mentioning D.

All I can say is that there are more written that are yet to be published, and Walter and I are talking about a couple more in the next 2-3 months. :)

I found it while searching thru some online language docs, in a section of a web page titled "Other Languages"... cant remember the page tho.

I dont think people are finding it very easily thats for sure.  Im sick of the outlook newsreader I keep losing messages I have no idea where they go. Anyway i cant find the thread that talked about advertising and im just babbling and am pissed at MS's crap ass products ( other troubles with IE / outlook ).

Walter brought me here when I asked about D on another newgroup. Actually I read a DDJ artical on d first.

I can honestly say that if I had never browsed
Digital Mars newsgroups, I would never have heard of D.

Im not sure if D is ever mentioned at
http://www.codeproject.com
But I think it would be great if you could get an
article posted on that site. Its very popular.

Phill.

Daveed Vandevoorde was comparing notes with Walter in a discussion on "export" in C++ and D was mentioned.  I naturally became curious :) Since then I've mentioned D to people I think would be interested.  Word of mouth is probably the best method until D hits version 1.  And frankly, it is probably a good thing that there aren't a million people freaking out about the language quite yet.  It makes management of this mess a tad simpler.

Me too, so I am attempting to make my own
newsreader, written in D.

remove the news at all, disable all sort of deletion after some days in the options, and add yourself on the reader list again, and download all.
