In the absence of a company like Google or Microsoft suddenly 
deciding they want D to be successful in the web space, there's 
absolutely no chance D will ever be a player in commercial web 
development. It's simply a dead end in 2025. There are other 
areas where D can be strong, but not commercial web development.
