D1 to be discontinued on December 31, 2012

[Mattbeui]

I am C programmer, but I had already did a little OO programming 
in Python and Delphi. So after look for a growth in my studies 
and enter definetly in OO programming, I found a  video on 
youtube from Andrei Alexandrescu. And I got hooked since then.

But that was just the beginning, until I discover that there are 
D1 and D2, tango and phobos Et cetera. Many options to get lost.

I've had a great help from the d-guys at #d channel on IRC. But 
anyway... I think choosing one language is the right choice for 
everyone, mainly for the new users. And you need simplify the 
entry of the new users.

In some cases you need sacrifice something. For example, I love 
work on Visual Studio 7.0 (The old one without framework or 
.net), but they (irc guys) told me that I need move on to the 
free version of VS 2010 to use VisualD. Yes for me as new member 
this is a small sacrifice, but for you, the D1 guys, you should 
think for the benefits of D2 for all community, and not for what 
you will lost but what you will get from now on.

PS: Sorry my bad english.

Matt.
