If I have some questions about D, should I ask on stackoverflow instead of here? Are there enough D'ers there?

I personally think that asking there would bring more public attention to D, but it all depends on whether there are enough people there who know about D.

For instance, I might have a couple of question about gtkD, as I'm trying to play with it right now.

So, do you regularly visit http://stackoverflow.com/ or no?

More D visibility on stackoverflow would be nice.

Post it there then link to it here so people will find it. I only visit stackoverflow when googling takes me there.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/d

I remeber seeing a post on annoucements a long time ago about when you type d on the tags page here http://stackoverflow.com/tags you dont get the d tag. IIRC that guy sent en email to jeff atwood about it but it is still not working.

I use the feed at http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/tag/d to keep an eye on any D questions as they pop up.

someone should write a bot to do that automatically. Kinda like for the bugzilla.

Yeh, denied because "search is really hard".

So they cant just insert an if statement on the line before to check for exact match before trying the search?
