Reading his summary of the alternatives I felt D came out clearly 
on top, it's just that he didn't have the motivation to switch.

Towards the end he mentions the web, for me (as an application 
developer rather than systems level guy) Android/iOS is the fly 
in the ointment - I'm torn as to whether to invest my energies in 
following D through its explorations or knuckling down and 
learning the Android API - after all, JDK8 + tooling is bearable 
now.
