Microsoft sells tooling and services, they have an army of 
"evangelists" to corrupt, i mean to lobby companies / governments 
all around the world, these people are driven by an economical 
motive to vendor lock you

Same for Apple/Swift, and same for Google/Go

Rust is similar, as it consist of a conglomerate of them all

I don't use D because i want corporate-credibility, i use it 
because it gets the job done faster than anything else (is it 
even still the case btw?)
