Re: D compiler daily downloads at an all-time high

Hello Andrei, what do you think how good the download numbers are representing the popularity of D? Because I myself have downloaded the new compiler several times. One for work, one for home and one for the virtual machine I guess.
Re: "Programming in D" ebook is available for purchase
The book was delivered today! The size is similar to the C++ Primer. But I don't like the quality of the cover. Looks like they have used a blunt blade to cut it and there are damages at the adges.

Ali Ok than this is not what I have been thinking off. I thought I just can import the standard library of C++ and compile it with D compiler...oh well...

I am embarrassed to reveal that I don't want to have bitcoins. :) I can't explain this rationally; perhaps I was bitten by a coin in the dark when I was a young child; I don't know... The feeling is very similar to my not wanting to be on LinkedIn, Facebook, and other similar things. :) Sorry... :) Ali So is there a way to buy the book on paper besides amazon? Not that I don't like amazon it is just that there are always problems ordering from outside the EU due to customs duties.

Re: 1st Ever Artificial Consciousness to be Written in D Language
On my website there is a picture I claim to be of myself at a ceremony to receive an award from Microsoft. Surely, it isn't that much of a stretch to ask Microsoft if they ever gave a certain Asame Obiomah an award, is it? If there were any doubts left that this is a poor scam attempt then this should lift them completely.
