Spreading the word about D

If you know what you're doing, you can write in any language; but some 
languages give you more options than others.  PHP is ubiquitous - if I 
sent an RFP back to Fox suggesting D, I might as well not bother.  But 
PHP is what most of their sites run using, and that's how I've worked 
with them.

Anyway, using PHP's site wouldn't be half bad (it is well considered the 
best documented language, and probably that is a good reason it is so 
popular), but I think doing something in D would not be significantly 
hard.  More important I think is to learn where PHP's site does the 
right thing.

Writing it is (imho) the easy part.  Knowing what to write, that is the 
endeavor.
