Hi.

Without wishing to dwell on the negatives of alternatives, might 
I ask what made you decide to settle on D?  Do you have 
collaborators who write code and, if so, how did the discussions 
with them go about this?  For your use case, what have been the 
main gains you have seen and how long did it take before these 
started to come through?

I am interested because I may have the chance to persuade some 
people to explore using D, and I would like to know honestly what 
some experiences are of people who have made that change.  (My 
personal experience may not be so easy to generalize from).


Thanks.


Laeeth.
