My friends and I implemented an operating system in D back in college, and I just want to say that I agree entirely with this post. It's mostly why I went into Ruby instead of staying in D, and why I'm doing Rust now instead of D today.

That said, D has a lot of promise, and a lot of these issues have been worked out, but I feel like there are many people like you and I...

One common trait I see among ex D users is jumping on Rust. Rust has some serious 'corporate' power behind it, so it might be a future ahead.

Yes!!!

I'm not sure. I haven't worked on it in a few years, the others may be keeping it going.
