Huh? No, as long as D is not backed by some giant like Google
or Apple it has to do its own marketing and showcase its own
stuff where it can.
the key words are "where it can". rewriting already working tools
(perfectly working) in D is "marketing for the marketing sake".
if there are money to waste, an engineer can be hired to rewrite
such tools. otherwise, it is much wiser to reuse existing ones.
People are not looking for something that takes engineering to
work well. They are looking for something that just-works and
that they can build on from the get go.
so they should pass-by. D is the language to build tools, not
some "batteries included" language. this is The Way to market it,
i believe.
