When did D dominate?

On that archived page you can see a lot of language 
implementations that I chose not to include on the "new" quad 
core measurements, that began back in 2008 iirc.


For newer languages like Crystal and Nim and Julia the tiny 
benchmarks game programs have been used to provide performance 
examples (without needing my involvement):

https://github.com/def-/nim-benchmarksgame

https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/tree/master/test/perf/shootout


:but when it comes to D as-far-as-I-can-tell those efforts seem 
to somehow disappoint the D community and the comparisons are not 
publicized in the same way:
