17.



 What programming language(s) do you use and how long?








 Area of Interest?


Uhm... programming? I guess algorithms in general, simulation perhaps.



 Location (State/Country)?


Norway.



 Student/Employed/Unemployed/Retired?


Employed.



 Using D Professionally? How long?


Nope. Did on my last job, for about two months.



 How did you learn about D?


Happened way back in 2006, I think. Can't remember how. Been an avid
user and follower ever since.



 List (in decreasing order of importance) five features you like most  
 about D:


Templates
CTFE
GC
OpDispatch
alias this



 List (in decreasing order of importance) five features you dislike most  
 about D:


Blasphemy! :p

Impure-by-default
System-by-default
Lack of unique storage class


If you also allow features that I feel are missing:

Unicode operator overloading
Restrictions based on UDAs (nothrow, pure, nogc, safe, trusted and system
   implemented in Druntime instead of the compiler? Yes please)

You have these answers more/less answered on LinkedIn, group "D 
Development Network". As of this moment, the group has 256 
members, and it is constantly growing.

Interesting. Thank you very much for the insight. Somehow I find myself 
hoping that we have a little more than 256 users: 255 not counting 
myself since I'm a member of that group. I really appreciate you taking 
the time to respond though.

Some of us don't use LinkedIn seriously and have woefully incomplete and  
sometimes incorrect profiles :p

Is that right?  Or is it akeron.com?

Both seem to be boilerplate web sites of just-registered domains.

That's right. akeron.com is taken. Although... it's been in it's current 
state since 1994. I purchased akeron.co a couple days ago after making 
the decision it's time to start moving forward with my business.
