Since I see some comments in this thread, asking what D can be used for, or why people should use D, I'm putting below, an Ask HN thread that I had started some months ago. It got some interesting replies: Ask HN: What are you using D (language) for? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12193828

Too late to the party to add my answer to your AskHN, but here we go: I use D at Netflix for machine learning backend.

Super interesting, could you say a little more ? Any blog posts that talk about this. From what I gathered from HN part of Adroll's ML is in D.
