Maybe if you took the time to read the post I linked to, you'd 
understand my point:

_I have had some pretty huge improvements in the quality of 
output from LLMs when I provided them with 2 specific skills:

rust-api-design: an AI-friendly version of the Rust API Guidelines
documentation: an AI-friendly version of How to write 
documentation - The rustdoc book_

"Pretty huge improvements" just from creating a couple skill 
files. Even if the impact is marginal, which the OP post in that 
thread suggests the opposite, it takes so little effort that why 
not just do it and see how it goes.

And yes, there's a lot that D could learn from Rust. It's far 
surpassed D in popularity despite only being around since ~2011.
