This is the obvious observation bias I alluded to before: of 
course people who don't read and write English aren't in this 
thread, since they cannot read or write the English used in this 
thread! Ditto for bugzilla.

Absence of evidence CAN be evidence of absence... but not when 
the absence is so easily explained by our shared bias.

Neia Neutuladh posted one link. I have seen Japanese D code 
before on twitter, but cannot find it now (surely because the 
search engines also share this bias). Perhaps those are the only 
two examples in existence, but I stand by my belief that we must 
reach out to these other communities somehow and do a proper, 
proactive study before dismissing the possibility.
