There are a lot of different metrics that can be used to measure how popular
a language is. Tiobe and SO are just two of them. And with each metric, you
have to keep in mind how they get those numbers in order to figure out what
they indicate.

It's easy to tell that D is not as big as languages like C/C++, but it can
be much harder to tell how its usage compares to languages like Rust.

LOL. I get the impression that it's often the tendancy of D folks is to get
excited when D shows up as high in a list like Tiobe and to argue that the
list doesn't mean much if D isn't high in the list.
