I think we will see! Currently I use D at university for games 
and graphics in two of my courses, and I think that's an 
excellent domain for D (which happens to match my professional 
interests). Previously students have used D for networked 
painting applications (See DConf 2023 talk) in courses in 
software engineering. I will provide some guidance to folks at 
the hackathon on projects, but I will also be very curious to see 
what they choose organically.
