I think nick is concerned about D seeming like a hobby of Digital Mars 
rathan than a significant language in its own right. I think it's a 
valid point.

It looks good when a language has an official (or official-looking) 
website. Such as these examples for some other languages:

http://www.java.com/
http://www.php.net/
http://www.python.org/
http://www.ruby-lang.org/
http://www.perl.org/ / http://www.perl.com
