I mostly use it for personal projects and used it several times
for homework.

Still don't have a job :)

I'm creating a parasitic language (started like 2 days ago so
still in very early stages) https://github.com/NotSpooky/Espuki
Did several homeworks, one was creating a "MIPS" (instructions
aren't really the same) simulator of a computer with two cores
and two cache levels. https://github.com/NotSpooky/Simulador-MIPS
The reason I became interested in D was the ability to mix usage
of the GC with manual allocation for games. I spent several
months making a 3D game but got bored (no GH link).

It has been very useful for this. For learning metaprogramming
and ranges mostly.

I have mentioned it to classmates. Most are somewhat interested
but don't find it worth to learn a new language in which they
won't probably work.

I like D more than any other current language, but I think
backwards compatibility is already a significant burden. That's
why I'm making a language that compiles to D. To have most of D
without worrying too much about that.
