Did you even bother reading my response????
Stop wasting your time by trolling - make a difference!

I agree - this is bikeshedding. We all rely on existing software
for our day to day life. I quickly checked the first hit server
for other languages - have a look:
rust.org: nginx
php.net: nginx
julia.org: Apache
scala-lang.org: Apache
julia-lang.org: Github
python.org: nginx
www.cplusplus.com: Apache
perl.org: Apache
developer.mozilla.org: Apache
ruby-lang.org: nginx
swift.org: Apache
... and the last time I checked all of them use the C
implementation of git for their source code ;-)
Mike's call for help was about actively _improving_ dlang.org by
pointing out
- what is (or could be) confusing for newcomers
- bad written texts
- missing examples
- not user-friendly parts of the documentation
- missing info
- ...
Basically everything that could stop someone from having awesome
first five minutes with D!
