So, I did a presentation to about 10 colleagues on a tool I wrote to aid in automated testing. Basically went through how I built the application up to a point, realised I needed extra features and added to it, and went through some D features that aided in doing that - and also some of the wonderful libraries that helped too, like pegged (awesome library!) Of the 10 (all of us testers by the way, not programmers) 9 had never seen the language before, 4 were quite interested in the language after - 2 of which came to me after looking to get more info on how you could do this and that in D, with the intention to go home to install dmd tonight. Most importantly, my manager seemed ultra impressed with it too! So, yeah, very positive experience with the language, thought I'd share! :)

Would be nice to know. Were those testers familiar with programming at all?

Testing this was a total PITA as it prompted you for info and you had to babysit it. So, dexpect was made. http://code.dlang.org/packages/dexpect university level. The 2 whom were most interested in the language were the two whom do the most coding outside work.
