Umm... My old colleague had 30 years of development skills, he 
had developing apps for military sector and still he had writing 
2000 lines long functions in C with memcpy and str* crap...

I switched from D to C#. There aren't any positions for D.

Nobody is trying to silent you, you just started trolling there.

How many corporations is using D right now? 10?
Windows is still dominant OS and there are a lot of job 
opportunities for C#.

D is unusable for startups or corporations where are junior 
programmers hired anyway because it's too complicated to use. And 
pay senior developers for job what can be done by juniors but in 
different language is not worth.
(e.g. metaprogramming is great stuff but require high skilled 
programmers to use it correctly.)
