D easily overlooked?

I don't think anyone that don't use D in production worry about 
it. I simply don't think that many programming languages have any 
intrinsic value so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense telling 
people to "improve" on it if they haven't even adopted it (in 
production).

For some simply understanding the landscape and nature of the 
evolution of open sourced programming languages (Rust, D etc) 
have more value than the languages themselves. So yeah, not 
sticking to any single language makes a lot of sense, they are 
just tools, means to an end, not goals in themselves and none of 
the current day languages are worthy of cultist behaviour…
