Privately whenever I need a program for something and D is the 
right tool for the job.

Most of my stuff is in a private gitlab instance, but there's 
tunneled [1], which is essentially a tool for Linux to route an 
arbitrary application's IPv4 traffic through an OpenVPN tunnel 
without interfering with the rest of the system's network traffic 
(i.e. other applications continue as is) using control groups.

I originally started using D1 to learn something new (way back 
when), but I (on and off) stuck with it till today because it's 
still the least horrible option out there (that I know of) with 
the properties I need (designed for native programming, easy C 
interop, high productivity, maintainability, few UB / wtf 
moments).

For single file things neovim+dutyl, for projects Sublime Text 3 
+ custom plugin [2].
No IDEs for me.

There's a (harmless) memory leak in druntime I want gone [3].
