Empire was one of my favorite games and really got me into strategy games. I even made a clone many years ago just to practice programming. And now D is my favorite language - it just feels natural to use.
So, I just want to say thanks for creating two big influences in my life. I hope you keep working on D, and for what it's worth, I do try to promote it as much as I can.
I do have one question: I contribute to the D Language Foundation through my Amazon purchases and would like know if those types of contributions are helping. And are you getting the support necessary to keep working on the compiler for a long time to come?
Yes, every bit helps. While I took a 100% pay cut to work on D, there are other bills, like hosting service bills. We also have a few paid staff that donations and such pay for.
