Same thing happen to me, I even did some small contributions around 2010.

Just a guess, I'm guessing python isn't your favorite language either? They seem to be rather unopinionated languages that let you have access to lots of tools. I hear they manage to keep it pretty simple despite having a "kitchen sink", so definitely interested in both.

Python is my favorite scripting language, not for application development.

D syntax is nicer than Go's, but its also dead compared to Go. Where are you going to put your chips?

In languages that the designers don't throw away the last decades of improvements in language design.
