D made the May headline on Tiobe: "Programming language D suffers sharp 
fall". You can say that again, D went down 5 places, to below languges 
like RPG(OS/400) and ABAP!



D's loss seems unbelievable. D now has a 0.628% share, which is even 
less than what it's lost (-0.82%) in the last 12 months. What could be 
the reasons for it? Is it even possible to figure out any reason??

Can this loss induce people to abandon D, and others to not take it up, 
leading to cumulating losses in the coming months? What do we have to do 
to prevent this?
