Nice article. Once I have enough time I would like to write a 
short article about how D has solved practical issues for me. I 
think it is not enough to talk about all the features of the 
language (templates, GC) without giving practical examples (one 
more Fibbonacci example and I'll go maD!), i.e. things 
programmers have to deal with every day and that make life 
(needlessly) difficult like encoding issues, portability and 
interfacing to C, to mention but a few. Big companies will always 
be able to make people believe that they alone have solved 
concurrency issues and everyone should use their products. But D 
is much more than a language that was born out of the need to 
address (con)current issues. It already is as versatile as C and 
C++ (system language, portable), as productive as Python, it has 
the benefit of hindsight and is felxible enough to react to new 
demands. Sure, we all know that. However, in order to convince 
people to use D for new projects, it would be nice to have some 
practical real-world examples and possibly a list of "Made with 
D"-software.
