D isn't an emerging language.
And that's a good thing.

Dozens of languages pop up and die before anyone notices them, D 
has been around for what, 15 years? It's obvious that it's not 
going away anytime soon.

People also refer to Haskell as if it's some new hip language and 
it's almost as old as ANSI C.
