vibe-d and hunt helped compete with asp.net and spring, it's a 
known fact, the GC helps D web servers handle terabytes of heap 
memory and millions of transactions per seconds, also a known 
fact..

it also helped compete with the simplicity of go net/http, a very 
known fact, obviously

you are looking at the past, when you want to be relevant 
tomorrow, you look forward

comparing to C# with what strengths?

there is not JIT and no low latency GC, you'll be forever a worst 
version of C# if you keep that argument

and anyways, comparing with other languages is a little bit 
offtopic

what are out strenghts, and what problems can we solve?

i make a game with D, what are  you guys doing with D?
