D looks interesting.

I wonder why it's not more popular,it seems it has been around for years.Maybe it needs to be embraced by a big company first.I heard its creator works at Facebook though.

Facebook uses it a little behind the scenes.

Not the original creator Walter Bright, but "second in command" Andrei Alexandrescu works at Facebook.
