Where could I find stats on D usage and compiler download ?

Shouldn't such information be made clearly visible on the homepage menu ?
This would provide feedback on the adoption and popularity of D.

forgot to say: everybody who has or used to have the dl stats of their softs knows that one dl does not mean "usage".It's even worth in the commercial world (demo, sharewares), e.g: for 100 dl you'll get 1 licence bought. People downloads some things and doesn't give a fuckin damn about...So the previous link is not reliable. Maybe take 10% for real usage as it's free and mostly open source.

Heh, incidentally I'm just putting together such stats, initially on my own website. E.g. http://erdani.com/d/downloads.daily.png plots the 28-day moving average of daily direct downloads. I'll announce things once I have everything finished. -- Andrei
