TBH I think it's not realistic that Rust and Go developers will adopt D for high performance under the hood, unlike more dynamic languages like Python or Ruby. Go and Rust languages target a similar audience and are not inherently slower than D. Existing good quality libraries like Mir GLAS have certainly a good chance of being adopted. But going through FFI is not without costs (both for library writers and users) and if there are similar libraries in the native language I honestly don't see much chances for libraries written in D, unless they are really much better.
