Has D succeeded? (Unpopular opinion but I think yes)

[Piotrek]

I am aware that the all below statements are just my personal 
opinions, but they are based on quite a long experience as an 
average software developer.


The main reason why I think D is the best language is that is 
covers full spectrum of software development. It can be used with 
a pleasure for any kind programming task. From implementing bare 
metal software to writing quick scripts. And all this with the 
very nice syntax.

So I would like to thank all of past and present contributors who 
helped the D language to go so far.

Also I wanted to do an exercise of comparing D in the same domain 
as C and decided to port some non-trivial C code to D. I piked a 
RISC-V emulator written by Fabrice Bellard.
Here is the outcome

It made me smile when I saw that Fabrice's code uses templates 
and he had to use the processor for that. I just couldn't be more 
happier that D has it out of the box and it is so clean and easy.

And my personal bet on the better D future is to have the biggest 
possible standard library.
I'm a big fan of the "battery-included" approach like Python and 
Go.
For an easier software development I will also support all 
efforts to make C dependency optional (like Go).

Once again, thank you all for hard work. I wish you will be 
gratified in some way.

Cheers,
Piotrek
