You don't need to convince people.  The proof is in the pudding. 
Instead, a reddit explains much of this

4mo ago   In that sense, I have always felt that D's features are 
just too general for their own good.

-------------------------
So, D is missing the KISS principle, Keep It Simple, Stupid!  Do 
one thing and one thing well. Trying to be jack of all trades 
will make an expert in none.

So! Where does D have unmet potential to shine, and a pre-emptive 
strike against the rise of rivals, including Rust, and zombie 
language Java?

My answer:  Industrial Robotics

If we can get a core rock solid industrial robotics set of 
libraries, D will sell itself.  And the C, C++, Java/C++ and 
endless variants of C#, Objective C, this entire family of C 
descendants -- can move for 1 thing and 1 thing well, to D.

Is D Lang willing to take on such a task?  Why or why not. What 
would need to happen for this?
