You are exaggregating all the time. Langauge being dead means 
that no-one is using it. Think some academic research language 
that was used to write a proof of concept project by a few people 
and then everyone moved on. _That's_ what dead means. You can 
make a reasonable case that D has too little adoption and/or 
growth, but please call the problem that, and nothing else. 
Exaggregating the failings of the language serves only to make 
people annoyed and hence defensive.
