I am working for a company that develops photographic software. Right now I am working there on a compiler that is written in D. The decision was easy because this is a stand-alone project and the risk is well under control. I would also really like to use it on a larger scale and get other people in - but from my experiences with my (largish) private project I see the risk (or time loss) due to compiler/linker bugs it still far too high. I would love to see a no-known-regression policy for new releases to decrease that risk.

Well, the company hasn't really endorsed my usage of D, but I've been creating some verification tools for our product which use to be done by hand (or not at all) with exporting to Excel. It is something to use internally and can't actually do any harm. The capabilities it has demonstrated have gotten interest, but the response I'd got from someone in R&D was "I've just never met someone that uses [D]."

I work for a large American company that writes a lot of software. The company does not use D at this point, mostly because of a legacy code base, but it is a strong candidate for future work. For proprietary reasons I can't identify the company nor the plans for use of D, but rest assured that D will be used in future here. Nemo

writes Thomas Mader I think it would be very helpful if there would be a better way to handle such questions than to post on a forum or newsgroup. Wouldn't it be nice to have a central point where people can search for people interested or proficient in D in a given territory or companies using D? I am not sure on how to handle such things the best way. A social network can be used which would be too closed for my taste but it can also be build into the offical D website. Has somebody experience with this? I'm sure this would very much improve the speed in which the community is growing and is even more important in the beginning because it's harder to find interested parties.

d coder <dlang.coder gmail.com> d coder writes We are a young startup based in India and we are creating a DSEL for Electronic System Level Design and Verification on top of D. I think it would be useful to have a page on d-p-l.org where we provide a list of companies and opensource projects using D. The idea is, not everybody using D would be seeing these threads all the time. Such list exists on Haskell Wiki for haskell application/libraries http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Applications_and_libraries and I think it is a useful form of propaganda. Regards - Puneet

Thomas Mader <thomas.mader gmail.com> Thomas Mader writes I think that the hard thing here is to find the balance between too closed and too open. A static testimonial page is too closed for my opinion. Nobody will apply to get added to this page and if so it is too much work for the webpage admin. A wiki page would be a really good idea. I thought about a wiki like world map but it's maybe too much effort and not everybody likes to add it's precise position. A link to the D wiki should serve well for the start I guess. Better ideas?
