The reason I'm switching to Go is because

I agree with you, but when I'm having trouble I always go to IRC
and the guys there are always nice and help me a lot. (Don't know
the GO community for that).
2. go routines (fibers integrated into the language, plug &
play)
3. GC performance (no stop the world hiccups)
4. Web server && IO performance (see:
https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks or
https://github.com/nanoant/WebFrameworkBenchmark).
On this point I strongly disagree with you.
In my company I've deployed a D app using Vibe.d for internal
purposes.
The app is around 4000 loc, used in average by 30 people
simultanously and is deployed on heroku free (512 MB RAM │ 1
web/1 worker) and the maximum response time is around 300ms.
Is way beyond every other app that we could have.
Look at this benchmark it's more up to date :

As a computer scientist I prefer D to Go and see a lot of
potential in it. But as a software developer I feel that D
still needs maturation to be competitive in a production
environment. I guess this is the reason why D doesn't get much
traction yet.
