I think it was below the top 50 at the beginning of the year. Nevertheless, it is certainly good news :-).

Or am I conflating with some other index?

Sure I can, I already does this. I would be quite nice with mostly pure D tools. People have been almost hostile in my attempts to use D together with Ruby. I was building a package manager that use Ruby for writing the package description files. That was far from popular. Oh, then why are you adding support for D to Cucumber ;) -- /Jacob Carlborg

I'm happy with what I've got now though, but the embedding thing is interesting. I just decided that embedding was too much work. I see. A pure D implementation would be even better. -- /Jacob Carlborg

Ehm... because until now I didn't know that @Given("foo") was
possible. In my head I was doing compile-time stuff so
everything had to be compile-time, if that makes any sense.
After I read the above I wasn't even sure how @Given("foo")
would work so I wrote some code and now know that all I need is
a struct with a regular string field. I think the documenation
on http://dlang.org/attribute.html is severely lacking.
BTW, I think it's possible to use a plain function as well, which
returns a struct. In this case, "Given" would be the function.

What do you mean, it's right there, at the bottom of the first
example [1]:
@Bar(3) int d;
