I don't think that the simple rule comparing age of the languages 
in question for risk assessment is very useful. Given all of the 
other variables, I'd be more likely to recommend Julia for 
numerical linear algebra today than D for the same role.

That's not a slam on D, which I mostly like better than it's 
competition (C++, Rust, C, ...) but rather an observation that 
the Julia community is entirely focused on this domain.

A really risk averse programmer who wouldn't consider Julia in 
this domain wouldn't consider D either
