i suppose it was simply because D v.1 failed and then authors

v.1 and think that D v.2 has the same drawbacks, maybe without
even trying D v.2
Also before it was closed source and the whole infrastructure
(repository, testing , bug report) was shitty. Bright admited
himself that going to GH and using bugzilla was salvatory. So
even if it existed before, you can consider early 2010's as a
second birth. (there's a non technical conference posted earlyer
this year where he talked about this).
