A friend of mine has heard about D for about ten years. I've been 
bothering people for a while.

At last dinner we realized two among the table were full-time D 
programmers, and this friend's own brother works with Laeeth. So 
now he now has 3 acquaintances that use D professionally, and are 
enthusiastic.
I don't think such a meal is common in France, just a data point.

Only then he _started asking questions_ about D and what you 
could do, etc.

While France is all about status (titles, living well over your 
means), and people prefer to learn "high-status" languages, I 
guess this is the profile of late adopters everywhere.

Germany is hopefully different, it takes only one german to 
change a light bulb :)
