Answer 2

Our whole (high-traffic) network infrastructure is based only on D1 and tango. We are a young startup company in Berlin: sociomantic.com

Answer 3

A lot of the games released by ABA Games are written in D 1.x, though I imagine the console ports had to be rewritten in C++.

I've written quite a few game prototypes in D, but I'm not sure if that qualifies as 'real world' since I wrote them for my own benefit and have never released any of them.

Answer 4

I use D2, the second standard of the version. I wrote real-time applications (3D engine, for instance).

The language gets more and more powerful each day. D is very pragmatic and all the embedded features, especially the metaprogramming paradigm, makes it far over C++, in my opinion. The syntax is clearer, you can use the strength of functional programming through functions such as filter or reduce, and one of the most important feature: you can use all the C libs.

Definitely my favourite language, and I’m pretty sure it will be a spread used language.

Answer 5

I'm using D in research about compile time code translation. The advanced templating combined with tuples and mixins makes code translation much easier and allows for code translation to be done during compile time without requiring a separate tool.

There are some examples of physicists using D to enhance their programs with meta-programming in D.

Answer 6

I used D for my research project on developing a global optimization algorithm. I applied it to the problem of training neural networks. It's up to you whether you want to call this "real world".
