I remember looking at D about 2 years ago, and it looked nice, was actually faster than C for some of the typical language benchmarks, and in general seemed ok, but I didn't find any real projects written in D back then, so I just left as a I came.
Now that a few years have passed I was wondering if there have been any projects done in D, hopefully open source to look at the code and see how its going, or is D dead?
On SourceForge, if you apply the filter "Require", "Programming language", "D", you get 113 hits, so it would seem so.
I've always been a bit worried about developing in D since I know little about this Digital Mars mob. Does D have a future outside of just piquing the interest of some nerds (using that term in a non-disparaging way)?
If you like games, check out Kento Cho at ABA Games (anything under Windows). His Windows games are written in D and demonstrate D with SDL.
His code is very, very nice to read. Highly recommended.
