I've heard of D. It seems like a great idea, but all that stuff with proprietary compiler, poor online documentation, and zero public approval from any organization (except Facebook but it's lately) were a big no-no for my side-projects, keeping aside any commercial ones.
Now, Rust seems to be the perfect drop-in replacement in my heart for "new language that makes coffee while being readable and awesome to use".
You're right. D, just two compilers and only few well written books is terrible when compared to the biblical legacy Rust has built up. And I certainly wouldn't want to use anything that didn't come out of a big corporation. Organic growth for anything technical just means the technology sucks.
Sarcasm aside, I get what you're saying but not why?
