D easily overlooked?

I'm already following both of your advices.

But D doesn't have to prove anything to become more popular.

It just needs to have a better competitive advantage.

And it almost has it.

You know that all the bits of technology are already there, 
spread in independant files from various github accounts.

What is lacking is essentially market-aware packaging and 
promotion.

For instance, add a Nuklear UI binding with touch events, and a 
small existing Http library, and you will have a Dart/Haxe 
competitor.

What D needs right now is commercial leadership, to compensate 
for the lack of  manpower...

There is no other choice, if you don't want D to be "buried" by 
Go, Dart, Rust, Kotlin, and all the other new emergent 
"pragmatic" languages, which instead target the typical 
development needs of the base developer.
