I know of several large apps written in D, they're all D1/Tango.
The incomplete state of D2 has to be the most embarrassing question that
could have been asked at Andrei's talk, but then you'd have to be
familiar with D to ask that question. Andrei likes to talk about
presentations showing only what's good, but he gave a whole talk about
an incomplete language while hawking his book for said language, but
made no mention of D1 vs D2.
People often ask for a status, but there never seems to be good answers.
Where's the roadmap? What's being worked on? What's left to fix? Is
there a release date that's being worked towards? It used to coincide
with the release of Andrei's book, but that has come and gone.
Walter is more silent than usual because he's working very hard on the
64-bit compiler. He hopes to have one by the end of this month. His next
big goal is shared library support.

For shared library support on Linux I think
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4583 is a blocker. For Mac
OS X a patch is already available (of which the dmd part has already
been applied) http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4080 . BTW
compiling Tango as a dynamic library on Mac OS X has been possible the
last couple of months.
