D Moves to 12th Place in Top Programming Languages

[Jim Burnes]

I had no idea that D was approaching this level of popularity, but apparently D has moved from 14th place last in April 2007 to 12th place last month.

It's within striking range of Javascript and C# is about 4 times as popular.  Python is 5 times as popular and C++ is 10 times as popular.

Considering the market advantages and head start those languages have over D I think 12th place is pretty remarkable.

Let's keep the effort up.  D is a great language and worth it.
