Walter is unlikely to hand over D to a commercial entity, which I 
think most D users are happy with. That would be a completely 
different project.

Rust follows the same path as Swift and JavaScript. Person 
affiliated with an organization creates a language. The person 
hands over decision making to the organization, which in turn 
evolves it further into a "commercial" commodity.
