I had no idea that D was approaching this level of popularity, but apparently D
has moved from 14th place last in April 2007 to 12th place last month.

It's within striking range of Javascript and C# is about 4 times as popular. 
Python is 5 times as popular and C++ is 10 times as popular.

Considering the market advantages and head start those languages have over D I
think 12th place is pretty remarkable.

Let's keep the effort up.  D is a great language and worth it.

D's Tipbe index rating (though not its position relative to other 
languages) slipped from Nov 2007 through March 2008.  Since the Tiobe index  
basically measures buzz, LET'S ALL BUZZ!  :-)
