D is a great "systems language", but Walter is marketing it wrong: he should have catered to influential and growing community of C/Linux devs, as opposed to dying breed of corporate drones who do C++/Windows. I have been one of those drones myself, and they aren't interested: they're moving to C#/.NET. DigitalMars does not even have a typical Linux-friendly download, instead there is a zip with mixed bag of Win/Linux binaries, WTF?

The name sucks too: it's not search engine friendly, try googling for "exceptions in D" for instance.

Sorry for the rant. I just want D to succeed.
