It is the year 2020: why should I use / learn D?

I used to regularly hit problems around 2005-2007ish in C++, 
including updates breaking stuff, libraries using new stuff that 
would not work in my install, and yes, plain old bugs like 
compiler crashes (lots of them when trying to use Boost back 
then!). Of course, "plain" code would work well, but I can say 
the same about D now too.

I'd say feature-wise, D is about 4 years ahead of C++, but 
implementation-wise, meaning the compiler and associated 
ecosystem probably about 8 years behind C++...
