D is not intended as a scam for someones profit but a good language and 
if somebody profits as a side effect then so be it.

Andrei (a lot of work on phobos) is working on a book titled "The D 
programming language". He will make money but the D community will 
benefit a lot more in non financial ways from the release of this book.

Walter has other forms of income which you will need to consider before 
you estimate his profit from D. Infact I doubt he has made much at all 
from D other than the lectures.

I've seen you post quite a few posts lately here. Please spend some more 
time looking up the answers before you rush to this NG from now on.
