Why are you using D instead of Rust?

In 2006, I set out to learn as many programming languages as I 
could so I would always be able to pick the best one. I had a 
notebook and kept notes about each one. I think I got through 56 
languages before I realized D checked all my boxes and I just 
gave up.

I have been using D off and on since then. I am not an expert 
because I don't use it at work and I don't program as a hobby as 
much as I used to, but even still, I have never run into a 
problem I could not solve elegantly with the D language. That's a 
pretty good endorsement. When it comes to technology, I complain 
a lot! When I'm looking for a language for a side project, I 
always start with D.

I can't imagine Rust solves a problem that I have and if it did, 
it wouldn't solve any of my other problems better than D. The 
syntax reminds me of everything I don't like about C++, while the 
rules remind me of everything I didn't like about Scala.

As someone who has worked in multiple languages professionally 
and explored many languages personally, I believe D to be the 
all-around best programming language available. With a little 
help in the library and stability departments, it could rival C# 
and Java for productivity. With more specific tutorials and 
documentation, it could start making inroads professionally as 
well.
