Hi guys,
I'm using D since a few month now and I was wondering why
people don't jump onto it that much and why it isn't the "big
thing" already.
Because languages don't become big things. Good solutions to
particular problems become big things, but D is a very good
language and nothing more. So if that is your criteria for
choosing a language, you might want to use something else.
D will go the route of continual improvement and increased
adoption. As more and more people use it for small projects, the
ecosystem will improve, and it will begin to be adopted for
bigger projects.
