It was a small personal project, I posted about it here some months ago fwiw:

D has no (FAANG) corporate sponsor and it does all things well/has no particular speciality, these two things make it hard to compete with marketing of other languages I think

There's a small but dedicated and active community

> does all things well

have the best day

Even better then :)

Maybe it's like some languages that don't chase growth/viral/visibility but exist calmly doing work.

I mean to say it's sort of a solid general purpose language/jack of all trades, with no particular speciality or thing it's deficient at
