A recent article where github programming languages popularity
and migration got analysed was very interesting but it showed
one noticeable thing:
A total lack of D even mentioned!!!
[...]
Small initial community + no one paying for viral marketing will
do that.
I know people will jump onboard and start yelling how D has
very unique features but [...]
Au contraire (in my case)! I don't need unique features. What I
need is a language that allows me to express
abstractions/algorithms in a readable, concise manner with the
absolute minimum of fuss/time possible.
There's no such language (yet), of course, but D has been the
closest contender for a long time with Scala coming second (but
dropping out as it's not native).
