For what it's worth, I came across this website:

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/

D is not there. Anyone interested, if it's worth it?

Isn't it being hosted by a different person now? So it could happen.

I haven't heard that, so can we get this verified?

The original site went down and is being rehosted somewhere else. As far as I know though igouy is still involved so I doubt the situation has improved.

He'll probably pop up and confirm for us since he somehow always knows when we bring this up

He has (had?) robot listeners trawling the various email collectors which would then let him know the Benchmarks Game was being discussed.

It would be well worth the effort.

More then worth the effort because its used a lot when discussions are ongoing regarding languages like Go, C, ... Its one of the best form of free advertisement.

D used to be there, but at some point was at the maintainer's whim for no specific reason. Isaac has acknowledged the arbitrariness of (t)his decision multiple times, and is usually quick to add, "but you can host your own copy".

Of course this is only true in a very literal sense – our own copy wouldn't get nearly the same exposure than his "official" one. Still, it would be useful to have a page comparing optimized D results with C/C++, as the Benchmarks Game still enjoys quite a bit of popularity despite the maintainer's antics.
