You forgot the one for which D is best suited: scientific/numerical computing. It produces fast code, it is used by small teams/single developers, it integrates well with C, and much of the work is interactive, requiring fast compilation times.

I think part of the problem is that D isn't as good as Python for scientific/numerical computing, and that people doing Python for it will typically drop to C++ when they need that last boost.

I realize that some hold that opinion but I and many others don't.

That's something you don't need to do if using D. It's also the biggest selling point of Julia.
