I guess I also mean actually referring to it more as DLang (or something) so people start calling it that. "D" is so hopeless to even use in conversation. Even "Rust" is miles better, and that's not exactly a brilliant name either.

Not any more hopeless than one of the top-10 most popular languages, C.
Except if you mean the juvenile joke it alludes to, in which case, nobody really cares between adults. No company is not gonna be use D because in some memes it means dick. Libraries, tooling, maturity, devs, speed, are the real concerns...
There's nothing wrong with juvenile jokes; we can be adults without being prudes. The only issue with D is the well runs dry pretty quick.

Yeah, you don't want to know how many times I have said "I work with the D Programming Language" and people are like "are you a psychologist like deprogramming brainwashed people?"
Though I usually just shoot back "no computers. code people just suck at names"
