Because the blog post is not about a "better C", but about Zig's SPIRV backend? As far as I'm aware, D isn't nor is it planning to be a shading language.
Besides, D is usually brought up in every HN thread about a non-D programming language, usually by the author himself and I'm surprised he hasn't shown up yet ;)
Also D being a better C is vastly overblown IMHO, D has become a complicated kitchen-sink language where each concept seems to be implemented in three different ways (at least that was my impression when looking at D's memory management, and the toolchain situation is more than confusing).
