How do you use D?

I've suggested exactly the same "easy-to-learn super-powered 
stronly-typed javascript" and "efficient web server development" 
advertising approachs to the D leadership, using a more 
"Python.org"-like website.

Maybe it's because this change would be much too radical, but 
I've been told that the "Better C++" slogan won't change, despite 
D could easily be "tweaked" to eat a significant part of 
Go/Dart's market shares.

And I'm not especially convinced that many C++ developers are 
currently rushing towards D because of the current website.

For instance, I've personally chosen D *only* it was much better 
than JavaScript/Node.js, not because it was better than C++, that 
I still have to use for game and mobile development.

Still waiting that somebody explains me how to _easily_ use D 
with Unreal Engine, Cocos2D-X, etc... ;)

I know I'm not the general case, but this still proves that 
"some" C++ developers won't switch to D for long because they are 
too tied to their ecosystem.
