Where will D sit in the web service space?

I think these are very good choices. I prefer to really invest in 
learning and developing on D simply because the resulting code is 
more easily redistributable, because you get more bang for the 
buck when optimizing it, because the developers are generally 
better coming from the C++ world and being hobbyists, etc. And 
also, D is more promising. A lot of things can happen to 
deprecate Dart, or TypeScript development completely. 
Nobody/nothing's ever going to deprecate D, if anything you'll 
only see the smarter devs being less afraid to pick it up and 
bring it further.

I was talking more about being able to operate a website or web 
application that has been censored or sabotaged. If something 
happens in the coming years to the free web as we know it, people 
will have to turn to custom computer programs and p2p to help 
open up their web services. I'm not talking about the NSA 
censoring stuff. I'm talking about companies being 
anti-competitive. This seems to be becoming more and more likely 
as they (Godaddy, Google, Mozilla, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, 
Microsoft, Oracle, ISPs etc) become greedy and start to play 
rough with each-other and newcomers, using "security" as an 
excuse. It can way too easy to flip the switch on a website or 
technology (eg the flash player incidents over the years). The 
only solution I see is to stop relying on them so much!
