Yeh, that's more what I meant.  Being commented on as a language by
people who study such things.

Hey!  You gotta announce these things!

Oh yeh.  Good point -- like me for instance.  :-)
I guess I should follow my own advice.
My D-using research paper:
http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1377980.1377993
I was kinda waiting to say anything until the paper describing the
main project was published.  The NPAR paper above one was just a
little offshoot of that.  I'll be presenting the main thing as a
poster at Pacific Graphics '08 next month, but posters don't count as
"Publications" in the world of computer graphics.
