Why don't you advertise more your language on Quora etc ?

I've written some stuff there.  Something I wrote on Python, that 
was in a way an indirect suggestion to explore alternatives (and 
I mentioned D), got 250k views and was sent to a few million 
people (whether they read it, who knows!).  Of course it's not 
the number of people that matters, but a few key people.  Weka 
use D after hearing about it from a tweet from someone they 
respected - and their use of D makes a big difference for others 
that follow (there are others too, but they heard about D from 
other routes).  One or two people at least explored D after 
reading my post.

It's a good idea to get involved though, provided one doesn't 
become an irritating language evangelist lacking in balance or 
perspective.  D is good for some things and people in some 
situations, but not for everyone.  It's enough that some people 
who are receptive actually make the commitment to explore it - 
over time, that will make quite a difference.  That's true, I 
think, both for the outside world, and inside an organisation.
