Please don't get me wrong, I also love D, I've used it everywhere I can and I'd say it's my favourite language (yes I have one...) but I'm as as the reddit's OP, trying to understand why it's unpopular. Rust and Go seeming to be getting more and more users. I think it's due to large ecosystem and the big corporations with deep pockets that pushes them. But I'd like to know you all opinions

I decided not to question the whys... D simply follows it's 
"winding" path (like Paul McCartney's Beatles song).

I use it as an scripting language and I simply wait for some 
productive "things" to be incorporated one day: named parameters, 
strings interpolation, unlimited UFCS, null safety (or 
Optional/Some/None native support, or union types  or whatever D 
decide to do), better optional typing inference (at least, as 
powerful as dart or typescript or ...), nice D debugger inspector 
(at least, as powerful as java or javascript or c# or ...).


I'm not the one to be involved in D experts brainy discussions.


Languages are tools... just use the one that fits your needs.  It 
can be D or not.
