If you plan on getting hired to do it D would be a pretty bad bet.

Rust remains one of the most loved and least used languages in the SO surveys IIRC - ignoring the meme-aspect of that trend - the job market is still swamped by C++ shops.

Realistically programming languages take time to adopt culturally but they aren't that difficult

Rust is not one of the least-used languages in SO surveys.

There are more Rust developers are Amazon that there are D developers in total.

Symmetry Investments hires D programmers every year and is continuously adding new developers.

I just got hired for more than my parents earn off the back of an email to the right people and I'm 20 - D is small but we have a lot of money per capita as far as I can tell.

Oh that is more than enough, thank you! What I am curious about is if I could get a job there without having education. Here in Eastern Europe they still want a CS degree in many places, showing projects, that are on, say, GitHub is not enough. You simply do not even get to the interviewing part.

Proving you are worth talking to is the hard bit, and even then the recruiters don't know waffle from insight. Its a fact of life, I think: We are the people who really care about technology, the people we work for usually don't.

If you are a student we (D) regularly fund students to work on projects for us.

There's more money than you'd think in small communities - don't badger people, but don't be afraid to ask.

I find coding fun, and I have been coding since I was 10. I did not go to university because I had family problems, and financial problems, along with mental health problems (depression, anxiety, panic attacks and the like). They usually do not care about this though.

I wish they would at least check out my projects, and let me talk about them or something. I would probably work harder and better than some of their employees. I am currently working on a game and I do not sleep for 2-3 days. I am pretty dedicated when I am interested.
