If code is not highly specialized there is no reason to spent 
resources to use C/C++/D. A company will be happy with Python, 
Java, C#, Go and Swift. If one need to have C/C++ programming 
level he can not use D because DRuntime. Only a subset of D can 
be used. And current problem that we have not BetterC paradigm in 
D specification. So, only crazy companies will consider D for 
large projects. Current D is successful in small console text 
routines.

If a system PL can not be used as C for highly specialized code, 
it is not a real system PL.

DRuntime and Phobos is going to compete with Java and Go. It is 
suicide for D, IMHO. In other hand, BetterC is a direction where 
D can be populated among professionals and replace C/C++.
