Most people lurking here are people that WANT to use D but are
offset by the issues. D is not bad as a language but it has
issue. Their are issues at every step in the D eco system and
each of those create a barrier.
Its those same issues that never seem to get solved and are
secondary citizens compared to adding more "future" features or
trying to Up-one C++...
Its not BetterC or static if or whatever new feature of the
month, that brings in new people. You can advertise D as much as
you want, but when people download D and very few people stay, is
that not a hint...
The fact that only recently the D Poll pointed out that most
people are using VSC and not VS. I am like "what, you only figure
that out now". Given the mass popularity of VSC... That alone
tells you how much the mindset of D is stuck in a specific eco
space.
