Nothing. The problem is, by and large they don’t. D is a fantastic project and an important step forward, but Rust has won the mind share game.

For me, a mild addiction to learning nim/wren and porting code to them. D and Rust can wait a little longer.

People forget that there's a big world out there. We're all doing our thing.
