Well, C++ was never considered a good language by anyone. It
was shunned at universities by lecturers. Java was basically
Simula67 with a different syntax and some adjustments.
But the demand of the past shifted to the web and now the
worst p. language rules the web (Sorry if you love JS too much
but there is too much bugs). Now we are stuck in it, who knows
until when before the world rushes to a new domain.
I am actually starting to kinda like TypeScript 1.5… And next
gen EcmaScript will have comprehensions…
maturing, and I see it maturing like gold. When D grows up
(even though it is doing powerful things in its infancy), you
and I will appreciate that it did not rush into any domain.
The contributor list to Rust1.2 claims 180 people were
involved...

If you focus on a domain more people will have a significant
interest in making it work better.
Rust is also backed by a major organization.
I(and others from what it seemed) was hoping Facebook using D
internally and hiring major D developers would have Facebook
promote/champion D a bit, but this did not happen. D needs a
major corporation to champion it.
