D Language Architect

[Andrei Alexandrescu via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Walter and I are planning major marketing moves, for which there's a 
necessity to describe my relationship with D succinctly. People 
routinely introduce me as "co-creator of D" and I need to explain "well, 
D had already been created when I joined but I worked on a number of 
features" etc.

Although D looks quite different now than it was in 2006, the "creation" 
act only happens once, so "co-creator" is inaccurate and shifts credit 
inappropriately. Last thing you want in PR is someone in the crowd to go 
"wait, but you didn't create it" and the next-to-last thing is to need 
to define the relationship between you and what you're selling as "well, 
it's complicated".

So we mulled over this for a while and we decided to go with "D Language 
Architect". I'll use that henceforth. Walter will remain of course the 
"D Language Creator".

No need to call me that way :o).


Thanks,

Andrei
