In order to survive, one must become necessary for others. In case of D,
all it takes to become irreplaceable is to have a bunch of libraries in D,
that have no alternatives in other languages. Perhaps the uniqueness is not
in what those libraries would do, but in how would those libraries do it. I
believe the revamping of D's compile-time reflection that Andrei talked
about some time ago is extremely important, because that would allow
writing truly irreplaceable libraries.
