It's called retirement. I can use whatever language I like, and write anything that comes to mind 24 hours a day if I want to.

D is a joy! It lets me fly and enjoy what I am doing, and do it quickly.

I've done FORTRAN, Z80 assembler, Pascal, C, C++, Java, C#, PHP, and - god help me - 'Visual Basic'. But I would not consider using anything else now.

Walter, and all other contributors, including Andrei, despite his fixation on ranges ;=), thank you so much.

Wrong. I have next to nothing in pension, so I solved the problem by marrying a Tanzanian woman and moving to Africa, where the cost of living is lower.

Balls are still intact, which is good since my woman wants children too. I'll learn the ranges stuff when I need it!

I've read some of your blogs, looks quite fun. And now that the Net is even there, that's really a viable option. Congratulations!

Before the web, D wouldn't even have been possible as it relies on the collaberation of people all over the world.

Exactly, or you'll likely get redirected. I think my server is slightly misconfigured and somewhere must mention a previous domain name.
