What do you think would be the key factors to drive mass adoption of D?

It's more that if you have some existing D code and you find that 
someone else solved your problem in Go/Rust (or Python or R or C 
or whatever), then you may be able to proceed faster by calling 
that Go/Rust code. They also may have done one part of what you 
want in those languages, but not all of it.

And sometimes you're right that it's just faster for me to write 
R/Python code than try to deal with doing a hybrid project.
