My view is completely opposite - I think D has almost everything
you wrote as missing. What I still struggle, after 20+ years
using D, is to find good quality libraries for stuff I do every
day. - This was historically the main reason why D has not been
adopted in the company I work for. Thanks to LLMs I no longer
have this problem as well, but alas my company is now using C++
for stuff we could use D for...
Sure there are improvements that D could (carefully) pick from
competition but keep in mind this community is small and very
opinionated (me included) so if you want something done you may
need to roll up your sleeves and do it yourself.
