Why don't you advertise more your language on Quora etc ?

I'm not talking especially about Quora, even if I admit that it's 
on this forum that somebody advised me to learn D to improve my 
object oriented programming skills.

I'm just saying that I think that D is de facto one of the best 
languages for beginners like me.

A lot better than most mainstream language these forum are always 
promoting as the best starting programming language.

So it's sad that D is ignored by so many young programmers, 
because when they do some research on google, like I did, there 
are too little chance they will find this advice.

D is mainly known as a system programming language because it's 
indeed "C++ done well". But that's probably not enough to 
convince C++ addicts to try D, especially because of the garbage 
collector.

But D is a great alternative to mainstream garbage collected 
languages like Java, C#, Javascript, PHP, etc.

I think it should instead be advertised as the perfect language 
to learn programming and web development, because that's where it 
really shines, IMHO.
