No, if I wrote yet another D game library, it would change 
nothing. This has already happened many times in the history of 
D. They all died. The current language + runtime is not in the 
top league for that purpose. This is why they dry up.

What has been said about Rust is spot on. You don’t fix this with 
producing more of what others have tried already.

You need to understand why you don’t retain those devs wanting to 
create games.
