This is indeed a problem for many newly created languages.
Scala has somewhat managed to create its own eco system with
Akka, Spark, Spray in a specialized area like concurrent
programming and big data. Also because Scala has found some
liking in academical circles (e.g. Spark, Scala STM). I don't
know how things will look like for Kotlin. Maybe there will be
a niche for Android development. For Groovy there is basically
only Grails as a killer application.
Giving how D is similar to C/C++ I am surprised that
non-familiriarity with D is a big problem.
