While randomly browsing online, I found this link below

https://www.quora.com/Which-language-has-the-brightest-future-in-replacement-of-C-between-D-Go-and-Rust-And-Why/answer/Andrei-Alexandrescu

This is a post on Quora, with some interesting statements by 
Andrei himself

"Overall it could be said that D has the downsides of GC but 
doesn't enjoy its benefits."

"A historical lack of vision"

"Of the three (D, Rust, Go), Rust is the only language with 
world-class PL theorists on roster"

"(D) 10x better than any other system language at generic and 
generative programming"

I am posting this here, because, I see a lot of comments that 
seem to suggest, that some people - me include, or me me at 
least, were under the impression that the makers of D, are not 
fully aware of its competitive advantages and disadvantages

But this post proves at least to me that the D foundation 
members, are really fully aware, how D compares to its key 
competitors

This post on Quora, makes it fully clear to me that the makers of 
D are fully aware of D's position

Anyway, it is a nice read, and reminder to some of us who follow 
this forum, that we probably dont need to remind D makers what D 
needs, or where D should go etc..
