Will D continu to live after walter death?

[moechofe]

Thank you all for those answers.

For me, open source is not a sufficient reason. Look at any 
random open source github project that has 1 contributor, 10 
commits, and dead since 3 years. (like mine)

Look at this crapy PHP thing. It as 22 years old, and not ready 
to be dead yet.
Look at that brillant D language. It as 15 years old, but almost 
unknown and unused.
Look at that Go language that deem whitespace-only line is an 
error. It as 7 years old, and everybody in the office ask me to 
code with it.

That remind me Tokyo Tyrant and Kyoto Tycoon, excellent key-value 
database that I used in the past. Completly forgotten.
That remind me Rebol. This language just blow-up my mind every 
times I return to it. RIP.

Joakim: Your are right about the toolchain. I'm always using DMD, 
but I probably should concider start working with GCD and LCD, 
too.

Iain, Adam: Can I concider working with GCD, knowing that only 1 
guy knows everything about the project?

Rion: Apple is not a good example to compare with. They make 
money, not coding during jogs for the pleasure, or for yearly 
conference for 3k viewers.

codephantom: If every other people wait for D language to grow 
before using it, it will never grow.

For me, the whole univers of D is talking, working and coding 
arround the language itself. D needs high level realisations, 
releases and success. They are so few.

What can make D successful enough to stay alive like C and cross 
the ages?
I would pay my company to let work with D. (...no, but you get 
the idea)

I'm soo frustated.
Have a nice day anyway. :)
