I often regret that D went so well as "yet another but faster" 
general-purpose language and is often viewed as such. And this is 
a niche overloaded with languages. Contrary to that, real-time / 
barebone stuff is rather narrow niche but there are only few 
usable languages there (and 0 good languages).
