For me at least, D has a lot more to offer because with the
recent developments in vibe.d, it's the only language that offers
the opportunity to write portable Web applications in the true
sense, ie. The user interface being in a browser, the backend
being a natively compiled service in the computer. With a 2
megabytes packed PE that is. It may not seem useful, but to me
it's revolutionary. Javascript user interfaces on the desktop are
a very good replacement for the traditional GUI, and absolutely
cross platform. I see nothing I need in other frameworks that I
can't offer myself in D. We're already on top and we don't know
it yet
