Where do you get this from? Quite a few D programmers have gone 
to C++ and Rust.

  C is primarily used for portability/system support/interfacing 
or because you have an existing codebase. Even Microsoft's is now 
using higher level languages than C in parts of their system 
level code (operating system).

Btw, C has changed quite a bit, it is at C11 now and even have 
"generics"... but I doubt many will us it. C is increasingly 
becoming a marginal language (narrow application area).
