Most coders with C and C++ mentality look the charts and only use the top-2 languages, that is C and C++. If D was there, we could get more users right now, because the optimization benefits make DMD the fastest. Probably even hundreds of enterprises go there to see what language to use. Everyone knows TIOBE is a joke, but this benchmark is probably the most important language benchmark in the web. D is not listed :-(

You speak about http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ right? They had D 
listed but I don't know why they removed it. See 
http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20080409212431/http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/

And D is listed on 
http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html it's 
just not in the top 20 list.
