I think we need more frameworks like vibe.d to build things with 
them. Currently there is not much so only a class of programmers 
will find the language useful.

Another thing is that the language is not marketed well enough. 
Someone need to handle marketing of the language, like real 
marketing. Most people are still unaware of D.
