Sorry but I am tired of endless appeal to history / usage - by this
logic Java and PHP are very good languages full of wisdom. And if
someone thinks so we will have a hard time agreeing about anything.
Why are you tired of this? History is extremely useful for learning and
moving forward.
Because history is never as simple as those referring to it want it to
be. Connecting some facts and assuming tight relation between those is
annoyingly common fallacy.
I agree. Adoption of programming languages is a complex phenomenon and
reducing its analysis to "D must do this one thing to be successful" is
rather simplistic.
