Actually I do think the reason other languages like 
Rust/Go/Python succeeded was -- not really because they are 
better than D -- but because they are better at marketing 
themselves, as in Rust's 'selling point' was that it was a memory 
safe language. D itself is a good language but it simply needs 
better marketing/selling point, but that's just my opinion on 
this topic.
