Marketing of D - article topic ideas?

[eles]

I think Walter has been doing a great job with D. I do not like all
the choices he has made (I am more radical when it is about breaking
old habits from C) but, overall, D is an admirable and well-balanced
language. And dmd a quite nice compiler. I hope it will be on 64-bits
asap.

I admire and use Walter's work.
