The improvements that Microsoft has been doing to .NET out of 
their Midori and .NET Native experience, alongside their recent 
announcement at BUILD 2020 for first class support for Rust on 
Windows, alongside Amazon, Oracle, Apple and Google's ongoing 
adoption on their OS and cloud platforms, kind of prove the point 
for me.

I occasionally still come over here due to the community, and 
less so about D.
