Nothing here contradicts my stated goals and method: increasing 
the usage and adoption of the D language by the community paying 
for more work on the language and libraries.

I think there should be a marketplace in such paid work on D, one 
that largely doesn't exist right now. In your language of 
economics, that market isn't clearing. Why is this?

It could be there hasn't been enough sustained effort to create a 
market. It could be there are simply too few buyers. It could be 
there is a culture of doing everything for yourself. It could be 
some OSS people dislike money being involved. It could be people 
are happy to free-ride off major voluntary contributors like 
Walter, Andrei, Iain, and Martin and don't care or need to see D 
speed up its development.

It could be I'm an outlier in wanting D to get more resources and 
move faster. We shall see.
