You might be surprised to see that D is the number 1 result for
":D" even today.
The search results seem to be identical whether you search for
D or :D, so the
colon seems to be ignored. Of course, the fact that dlang.org
comes up first
could just be because google taylors its results to you, and
we're both people
who deal with D (and presumably search for it from time to
time) already.

Yep, I regretted the Google suggestion soon afterwards, because
:D is more common than D in other contexts.
But I do think :D is a better brand, more recognizable, and D
sure needs a little help in that area. So if the search results
do not change... that at least leaves the option open.
Anyway, the post was for your entertainment. But from what we
entertain the future springs. So surely D future is :D ...
