Sorry I didn't see it.
But I am not really agree to say it's too late, it just depend on
how much we estimate the interest compared to the difficulty to
do it.
How many years it will take to be able to do a search on D that
isn't linked to the code? Like a job search, or anything else?
Maybe it's not necessary to change it in tools, but only on web
sites?
Why dlang.org and not d.org?
I think that a name change will affect the speed of the community
grow now, because the effect will be larger at the beginning.
I am french and D match really often with d' that is a prefix
word.
