See what I've found, a very wise man:

"[managed languages] will have their share, but native languages 
will also get a part of the cake. Here most developers seem to be 
satisfied with the available choices: Go, Rust, C++, C, X (place 
your favorite one in here).

So why should D now (suddenly) get the attention (which it would 
certainly deserve)? My guess is that it won't be about making D 
more attractive to new developers. I feel that the mission will 
be to make D more powerful for a variety of very special 
scenarios, which will give the language a piece of the cake that 
[is] not in the mainstream area." (8/29/2015)

Funnily enough, it wasn't too long after that, in 2017, that I 
was getting increasingly frustrated with D and started to look 
for alternatives to D as I was beginning to realize that D had 
become a language for "special scenarios" and that other use 
cases (e.g. mobile) would never happen.
