Why aren't you using D at work?

Same here.

Our customers live in Java and .NET world. They also tend to 
choose the technology stack themselves.

C++ only appears into the scene when there is the need for some 
OS integration or performance boost. So just as JNI, P/Invoke, 
COM component.

Also there are native compilers for both eco-systems around the 
corner. .NET Native on one side and the AOT support is being 
discussed for Java 10 (ignoring the commercial options).

For the customers doing mobile projects, we tend to go with a mix 
of platform SDKs and some web help.

Overall, for the amount of C++ code that gets written, D would 
hardly make any difference and cannot compete with the 
eco-systems being used from business case point of view.
