Obviously Digital Mars does development in D, but I was wondering if any other companies have yet taken the plunge -- even if just in their R&D department -- to try using D as their development language?

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.

I use D for virtually everything, including for a company's flagship product for the last year and a half or so.

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 presume they use only the R (language) then. Sorry, bearophile

I work at an economics firm and we use D extensively for our in-house tools (our product is web-based).

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

We could also have some kind of "testimonials" on the site where users (including companies) explain their experiences with D in a short way.

--0016364ec940ff707104a7f3b3bb Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 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?

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.
