The core problem is that the Rust community has resources to do
things like:

whereas D seems not to. Go, like Rust, gets marketing budget
both directly and indirectly.
These days programming language take up and traction has
almost, but not quite, nothing to do with technical issues, it
is about marketing and in some cases hype.
Whereas I am starting a push to use D and Chapel from Python,
Rust is already there in the minds of the CFFI people. Go has a
poor play in this area: current idiom is use separate processes
rather than link directly.
After watching the hilarious fiascos that have fallen upon the
Rust community that I won't go into, I hope D never gets
community resources like that.
