Why do you continue to use D?

I can't stand C/C++ and my programming projects revolve around 
game development, so D is a good fit here. Whenever I tried some 
alternative like C#, Kotlin, Java, I find myself going back to D, 
because I am missing some feature or it's harder to do C interop. 
A possible alternative for me would be Rust, but I am not a fan 
of its syntax and design choices (I don't really care much about 
memory safety and I am a hardcore OOP fan).

For web stuff I use Dart instead of JS, because I can't stand JS. 
I also wish I could use D for web stuff, but we're not there yet 
(I know betterC works for WebAssembly, but betterC feels too 
limiting for me).
