What is the D plan's to become a used language?

[Dicebot via Digitalmars-d]

On actual plan of D development - I believe that if situation 
stays the same existing companies and core contributors will need 
to step up and take over management of the language at some 
point, based on some well-defined decision making protocol. Right 
language leadership is the bottleneck - and hardly backed by any 
implementation power.

This is purely my personal opinion (not Sociomantic) and I don't 
want really to put much into it until we are fully in D2 world 
but my opinion of established system is very pessimistic.

It is also sad that Andrei didn't manage to convince Facebook 
leadership to invest seriously into language development. It 
could have been very cost-efficient long term investment and game 
changer.
