Biggest Issue with D - Definition and Versioning

[Paulo Pinto]

According to the latest issue from the German games developer magazine,
most people only buy one to two AAA games per year. Spending much more
money in casual games.

As such, what AAA studios use, is to some extent irrelevant. As only a few 
studios
worldwide are able to produce AAA games.

For example, there are several game studios in Hamburg and Berlin that are 
quite
happy selling games that are Flash based with a J2EE/.NET solution for the 
game server.

Some people are indeed moving to C#, but the vast majority of
professional AAA games are still written in C or C++.

Also, a reason a lot of people move to C# is due to how painful it is
to develop in C++. D isn't so painful, so there's an opportunity to
steal some of the C# game programmers.
