Q: commercial compiler manufacturer

[William Bolish]

Q: Will D likely ever be picked up by a major compiler manufacturer?

The language looks really good, but without a major compiler manufacturer
promoting & supporting the language, it seems major projects will never be
undertaken by large corporations.

This is what I am hearing from the firm I am contracting with (an energy
industry supplier).

Any suggestions from anyone about any very large projects underway would be
appreciated.
