A good start is to support a particular industry that no one else
is currently catering to in enough detail. If we could figure out
who is using D commercially to try and figure out what is seen as
being the main strengths, then the language and its libraries
could be strengthen further in those areas.
I will suggest that a great way to get that information is
through a user survey, where users can specify what they like or
dislike, what their main use cases are, what industry they use D
in, and so forth.
