Why do C++ programmers are not interested in D?

Any additional details you can provide on this, I would find 
interesting. For instance, are you using a D interpreter and then 
Cling as the C++ interpreter to get the C++ code working in the 
interpreter? I wouldn't think you would need Cling if you're 
compiling ahead of time.

Also, I noticed jupyter-wire at the symmetryinvestments 
repository as a replacement for jupyterd. Is this meant to be 
infrastructure that some other tool will build on? Thanks.
