Poll of the week - How long have you been in the D world?

[Paulo Pinto]

In my case, D is just one of the new upcoming languages group that I lurk 
around as
a language geek.

Besides playing with the language in toy projects, there isn't much I can do 
with it,
as  on my line of work only JVM/.NET languages are allowed, with some luck
I get to touch C++ every now and then.

Depends what you mean by "community".  It's really a matter of how many 
people answered
the poll.  The proportion the sample represents of the total number of D 
programmers is
liable to get smaller as D becomes an ISO/ANSI/whatever standard, gains more 
and more
third-party compilers and is adopted by more and more businesses, since many 
of the users
will not be coming through Digital Mars and so are less likely to be active 
on these
'groups.  And so, in the long run, the poll results are likely to understate 
the growth in
the number of D users.

Though publicising the poll in as many D-related forums as we can find will 
help to
counter this....
