D was released in 2001, KHTML in 1998, it's like suggesting they should have written vim in java.

Chrome wasn’t written from scratch in 2008. Chrome was a fork of WebKit, which was a fork of Konqueror, which was a fork of KHTML.

KHTML is the rendering engine for the Konqueror browser. Webkit is a fork of KHTML. And Chrome's engine is called Blink (it used to be Webkit, but they forked it).
