Open Source model is not working in huge products usually..
Greatest project sponsored by corps. Many FOSS done by RedHat, 
Google, Facebook and other companies.

Some academics/hobby devs could add something of course, but the 
most significant changes usually leads to highly paid devs.

Same with D. Many devs who work on Weka and Symmetry contributing 
to D, because Weka and Symmetry need those changes/fixes and 
interested in overall D improvements. Previously there were other 
companies as well (AdRoll, Sociomatic).

Business adoption is crucial for the language.
And for example Ocaml - has much better adoption than D. D really 
needs to improve this part.
