I know v1.0 will make a difference to me. I've been watching D, but have  
been reluctant to spend much time working with it. I realize that a 1.0 
release is somewhat arbitrary but it does represent a fixed point in the 
language's development. Once 1.0 is ready I hope to start working with D 
"for real." I'm sure there are others in the same position.
