D is already paying a big price, IMO.

If I look at the languages available, and the features they have 
that would enable me to do better software engineering, D would 
not even be on the list!

Swift would likely be no.1 - the 'choices' they offer to the 
programmer, are just superb!

I still think C++ got it right. I just wish they had GC, cause i 
got better things to do than worry about that crap these days. I 
actually like the C++ friends feature (although it's subject to 
misuse, like any feature really).

C# certainly high on the list.

But D.. nowhere to be found, in that list. Maybe on someother 
list.
