I do not think anyone claimed D is "dead". Being "irrelevant"
does not imply being "dead". Relevance depends on the standpoint.
Yes, to many companies that use Java or .NET D is most likely
irrelevant. Same goes to those that heavily depend on Python,
and/or JavaScript/TypeScript. But, to a _very small_ group of
people who still prefer to "go native" every now and then D is
still relevant.
However. If by some miracle or something entire D codebase
suddenly disappears (yes, Weka included), this civilisation will
function without major disruptions. Sure there may be some
hiccups, but those companies will easily find replacements.
