That seems to be where it is heading. I don't think D stands
a chance in that domain, but we'll see.
With all due respect, on the contrary I think that promoting D
as a general purpose programming language could be its only
chance to really improve its popularity, and thus significantly
grow its current user base.
Most programming languages are technically "general purpose", but
when projects look for tooling they aren't looking for something
generic, they are looking for a solution to a specific domain.
So, for a language to succeed you need to provide the best
solution to something specific.
