Walter Bright	Looky at the email I just received! It would not be possible without the help and dedication of our amazing D developers! You all have every right to be busting with pride! --- Subject: Fwd: D is now supporting this mission Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2025 19:00:41 +0900 From: Michael Parker <[email protected]> To: Walter Bright <[email protected]> This is friggin amazing. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Piker, Chris Date: Thu, Jul 24, 2025 at 5:25 AM Subject: D is now supporting this mission To: Michael Parker <[email protected]> Hi Mike Now that we've had a successful launch, if you get a chance can you let Walter know that the science telemetry processing engine for this mission: (launch video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es7tnMxgOuY is written in D? It carries raw bits through decompression up through initially calibrated science measurements of Earth's near space environment. If you happen to see any diagrams of real data from the TRACERS mission in the future, every measurement that goes into that diagram has passed through D code. If you can tell him thanks from me for starting and guiding the D language, I'd appreciated it. Your work for the D community is valuable. All the best, -- Chris Piker
