As other have mentioned, there are plenty of far more more likely 
reasons for go/rust's popularity over D.

As for not having multiple ways of doing things, that's what 
single-paradigm languages like Haskell or early versions of Java are 
for. D is deliberately multi-paradigm, which automatically throws the 
whole "python zen" philosophy right out the window: D is about letting 
the user choose the right tool for the job, not dictating that every 
shape of peg must be jammed into the square hole.
