To the best of my knowledge, there is currently no job offer in D 
programming in France. It is not even required/highlighted as a 
second/bonus skill to apply for a job.

Perhaps it is used within a research and development department 
of very few companies for very specific tasks but it's unheard of 
and the mentalities of top management won't change before long 
because we are a retarded population who needs a lot of safety 
nets and huge amounts of guarantees to actually to take action...

Also, french citizens don't like taking financial and 
technological risks, now adopting D for profesionnal use is a big 
one.

For example, to be hired full time as a Python programmer is 
possible for only 3-4 years and was regarded as an "exotic" 
language until now.

I know it's sucks...
