No trolling please.
It's a legitimate question, one that's been asked many times, and one
that I've never seen Walter answer. Instead, we have people who fill in
answers for him.
I think it would make people more comfortable to know what Walter thinks
with regard to D and money. Is he in it for money? If so, how does he
plan to make it?
There's nothing wrong with being in it for money, but it would be nice
to know up front and in what manner.
Paid speaking engagements, hosting conferences, paid support, training,
consulting, etc.
D is a programming language. There's nothing about D which would be
for profit or
not for profit. You don't sell a programming language.
Tell Google that programming languages aren't sold. They're being sued
by Oracle for essentially implementing Java. One of the big reasons
Oracle bought Sun was to get Java.
There are no D patents or trademarks.
