I think the results are bad in part due to Google using 'dlang'
synonymously with 'd'. So you get dozens of false positives
which flood the first page of search results.

Use the "literal" search instead, which disables synonyms:

https://www.google.de/search?tbs=li%3A1&q=dlang+golang+range+OR+ranges+OR+slice+OR+slices

I think these results look very fair.
