First off, I've read a couple of your books and have watched many of your talks online - thanks for putting all of those up. Your easy-going style of presentation makes lectures more entertaining to watch for sure. So onto the questions...
1) Is D used internally at Facebook? I'll understand if you can't answer, but 'no comment' means yes. ;) (answered above)
2) In your recent dconf talk you harped on needing a professional face for D to be taken seriously - have you seen much/any change since the talk and what (IYHO) is the most important thing(s) left to be done?
3) It seems that the GC is largely pointed to as D's biggest drawback as a 'system language', especially since it is required for much of the std lib. Do you have a go to response or link to help allay concerns?
4) If you could change one thing about C++ (backwards compatibility be damned), what would it be?
