At the first D meetup in the Silicon Valley, Vic (an accomplished entrepreneur who has been following up D'd path) discussed some ideas for improving D's adoption. He mentioned some other languages have improved adoption by means of a strong application (e.g. Rails for Ruby) and suggested we make vibe.d, which is one of D's most compelling publicly available applications, more prominent among D's toolchain. He mentioned that many folks start with the high-level need ("I need a web framework") and accept the language as an artifact.
Maybe this suggests that perhaps Vibe.d should (optionally) come with a copy of DMD, rather than the other way around?
