The big recent spike appears to coincide with DMD being
re-licensed as fully open source, as well as the GDC inclusion

Years ago I was interested in D but considered the licensing to
be a show-stopper. I've recently come back to learn it proper and
try it for some small projects precisely because of the licensing
change.
