They give you the data and you can filter it yourself.

I'd count about a dozen languages ahead of D in that ranking that D isn't 
competing with and probably never will compete with. XSLT and CSS, not a 
chance. Dart, mostly not. Javascript is still mostly for web browsers -- 
though it would be interesting to create an HTML API for D and hook up 
emscripten. Not necessarily *useful*, mind, but interesting all the same.

People tend to want to get things done. Corporate support helps me get 
things done. It also helps with the perception of the language as a 
serious option.

So, yes, congratulations, but I'm still wishing for a large company to 
throw its weight behind D.
