Try to google for "C"..ok, you're gettin a few results related to 
development, but compared to it's age I wouldn't wonder at all. As soon 
as D is as old as C, I bet it'll be on the first place on Google's page 
when searching for "D".

Ad topic:
I've put D also into the list of competences, but it didn't help me yet.
