Maybe, but I don't think those that go to conferences represent 
the majority. C++ conference presentations often show more high 
level code than people usually write... A distorted reality.

What people in the D-forums don't get is that people who come to 
complain on the forums and are perceived as detractors actually 
represent that silent majority that never visit the forums, but 
who want a completed system level development language solution, 
not a glorified scripting language for scientific computing. 
There is no future for D in that (too many competing solutions 
backed by arrays of GPUs in the cloud).

The regulars on language forums tend to be die-hard-fans, which 
leads to a distorted picture of reality. You can of course ban 
the signal of frustration, and create an echo chamber, but then 
there is no reality check feedback in the loop. And the language 
fades away and becomes a relic of the past. Like most languages. 
It is not unusual, it is typical.
