I would also say that D did itself irreparable harm with the whole v1-v2 standard library debacle. Right when it was receiving the most attention, it came right out and said to anyone who might have considered it, "we have two incompatible versions of the standard library: one which we don't support anymore and one you can't use yet."

Yeah, that certainly hurt D's reputation. People still bring it up even though it's been resolved for years.

That was then and this is now, there is one standard library and the language has come on leaps and bounds. D is a great language.

I'm not arguing otherwise. But as the saying goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression, and D's first impression was of a train wreck.
