True. I'm really impressed with your work on D, I just really 
don't understand why it isn't used more.

But, I think we have a slight upward trend. I've been compiling 
(no pun intended?) some stats from github, FB, Twitter, Reddit, 
Discord (activity, users etc) and I think I have evidence for a 
slight organic growth.

It's 2021, it's about time.
