I personally think that asking there would bring more public attention 
to D, but it all depends on whether there are enough people there who 
know about D.

For instance, I might have a couple of question about gtkD, as I'm 
trying to play with it right now.

So, do you regularly visit http://stackoverflow.com/ or no?

More D visibility on stackoverflow would be nice.

Post it there then link to it here so people will find it.
I only visit stackoverflow when googling takes me there.

type d on the tags page here http://stackoverflow.com/tags you dont get  
the d tag. IIRC that guy sent en email to jeff atwood about it but it is  
still not working.

I would vote for it, but the login system is acting wonky.

So they cant just insert an if statement on the line before to check for  
exact match before trying the search?

No, not really. There's a lot of thing about it I don't like, so I never use
