D gets popularity but not enough.
IMHO the main factor is the connection with other languages.
The only connection D has is via C interface which is not enough.

I think D should support COM and C API in a simple way.
Even by native language support.

This is need because D standard library is rare, but with simple COM support, for example, D can use many Windows objects.

What about porting Boost.Python for D as starting point ?
Thus Python can easily be connected to D program and this can increase language usage.

And of course DMD should be replaced by GDC , because 2 compilers do porting problem.
GDC has a big advantage because the back end is same for GCC so it can get all optimizations automatically.
