This seems to be a quite pessimistic view based on wrong 
information. There are definitely succesful companies using D for 
their applications or additional tooling.

Some of these companies you can see in the list on dlang.org, 
some others do just not announce which language they use, they 
simply use the best language for the job, which is D.

Kind regards
