Well, yes, D and Rust are not popular so they cannot popularize 
anything.

But it is true that some of the designers of system-oriented 
languages that came after D has looked at D's feature set for 
inspiration. I believe that applies to Go, Nim, Zig, Jai… What 
they took away from it, who knows?

And some C++ proposals have been informed by D, e.g. the one on 
ranges. Although some of D's features were first proposed for 
C++, even though D implemented them first.

A very tangled web.
