Survey techniques are a science after all. Google provides you 
the tools but without methodology it's peanuts. I suppose that 
this survey just allows you to locate yourself among the 
community, although it was already well known that D is more used 
in Europe and mostly by adults. I mean that the results cannot be 
used to change the development guide lines.

Only interesting Q:
- How did you learn D ? : yes, it shows for example that 
tour.dlang.org has gained its place.
- What is your PRIMARY /SECONDARY area of development where you 
focus on D ? maybe interesting to detect something that's not 
worth improving in the language. But bad formulation.
- How would you rate your experience with D compared to other 
languages? Yes, may show if D is generating D-language-centered 
people.

and few others. Average SLOC per project would have been 
interesting too. TIme spent per day.
