This is a curious comment.  Antonyms for "enthusiast" include: 
adversary, critic, detractor, ...

Given Adam's considerable assistance to beginners in Discord and

this a wildly inaccurate comment as well.

Factually, no.  D is already an alternative to C++ for some of 
us.  Could it be a stronger alternative to C++?  Sure, but it is 
and can be much more than that.
