Presumably, they'd be the people getting beaten up and shoved into lockers 
by the Go developers, so follow the Go dev around and you'll find them (I'm 
only kidding!)

Are you the one you are referring to? I am a D user who has been working  
for Microsoft in Redmond for about five months. I know there is at least  
one other D user at Microsoft, but I suspect there are more.

I know Steve Yegge mentioned D a couple of times in his blogs, it appears he
really liked the language (judging from the 2 and a half sentences mentioning
the language). And he works for Google IIRC.

Yeah I know a bunch of people at Google who are aware of D. I don't know
that it's used at Google though.

At least according to Steve Yegge's blog, Google only allows a few
languages to be used.  And I think they were C++, Java and Python.
And I suppose they have to allow Javascript too, at least if you're
doing in-browser code.

I'm still here. :)

We should start "The Bay Diggers", short for "The Bay Area D Interest 
Group". A monthly dinner meeting...

Man, I'm late to the game responding.  I'm in the east bay, working in 
Berkeley.  Does that count? =)  (I work at Tippett Studio, doing movie 
VFX, and a coworker also was ordering TDPL, so there's two of us that at 
least play with D from time to time and watch its progress).
