A Wired article about Swift coming to the server, particularly
after the imminent open-sourcing, that also mentions D as an
alternative, especially since it's written by the same guy who
wrote about D for Wired last year:
http://www.wired.com/2015/11/apples-swift-ios-programming-language-is-being-remade-for-data-centers/
Will be interesting to see how Swift does, a good natural
experiment for those pushing D to focus on one niche before
expanding, as Swift is doing really well on one of the most
important development platforms today, iOS, before expanding onto
the server. Of course, Apple is unlikely to really push it on
the server, other than open-sourcing and accepting patches, so
they have a built-in excuse if it doesn't do well. ;)
