I think that the largest issue there is probably the marketing
and advocacy. When Rust was about the same share as D, it had
much better marketing. Someone was running their twitter channel
and working to make the language much more visible. D flat out
doesn't have that.
If I had to pick a second issue, it's that the ecosystem story is
hard compared to other languages. New programmers aren't certain
what to choose or how to get their environment up and running.
Compared against Rust, Go, and Java we have horrible ecosystem
fragmentation. E.g. three compilers, two separate languages for
dub
