Nice, nice...Still SO people say: "Neither Haskell nor D is popular
enough for it to be at all likely that you will ever attract a single
other developer to your project..." :-)
If developer attraction is a concern, you're likely better off with D.
Programmers who have used at least one Algol-like language (C, C++,
Java, C#) will have no problem feeling comfortable in D. With Haskell
you'd need to stick with "the choir".
If just QtD hadn't been suspended...
I agree that's a bummer. I suggest you write the developers and ask what
would revive their interest. The perspective of a solid client is bound
to be noticeable.

Probably a compiler that is working better, one with fewer bugs.
