Is D still alive?

2011-01-26 Thread Fab
Dear D community,
My name is Fabian and I used to code C++ and Delphi. But a few month ago I've
got a book about D as a present. All in all D sounds very interesting ... but
- the "big" but - is D still alive?
Are there usable and stable GUI-Toolkits which are actually under development?
Are there any continued database projects?

So - is there any reason to change to D? I would ... I really would change if
there were more points than a nice language. I don't buy a good car if it's to
expensive - so: is D as precious as its pretend to be?

Greetings
Fabian

PS: I hope you can understand my bad English.

Thank you for your answer.

But is there also a productive IDE for 'the daily use'?
I'm used to code Delphi and there is also everything in the IDE I need to code
full featured applications.
I don't need a GUI-Designer (but it would be nice - maybe something like the
QT-Designer) but a IDE which supports graphical debugging is vital for me.

In addition you have to know for what I want to use D.
I want to code little games (2D: Jump'n'Run) and I want to use D for scholastic
use - drawing plots, calculating functions, ... and so on.

You see: I want to use D for private and for scholastic purposes.
