I'm currently the maintainer of a dozen D projects that I open 
sourced to promote the D language.

I don't provide executables, people have to download the DMD 
compiler to use them.

I'm also promoting D a lot on Quora. Probably more than anybody 
in this community.

And I was close to remake the D landing page.

And YES, I still find Moritz a bit demotivating with people like 
me. Maybe it's unfair, but that's how I feel, sorry for that.
