My workplace has stopped using D after a 6 month trial, which
finished in Jan 2018. Several developers did post here during
that period when blocked by a bug or incomplete feature, only

What are the bugzilla issues on those?
This is just a few cut-paste from the collated list. Some were
reported but found later to be duplicates, many were existing
bugs, so no new bugzilla was created in those cases.

We had no problem with installation or IDE support like many
forum posts seem to talk about. Untar DMD tarball just worked
when bin put on the path for Win, Mac and Linux. This easy
installation to $HOME/somewhere was a bonus most developers liked
and many thought even nicer than installing Python.
I feel like I've been bashing D here but that wasn't my intention
at all. I am a D convert, broken beyond repair. All our
developers liked D as a language. The biggest win I think was the
ability to write code that cleanly brought together C, C++ and
Python.
Cheers,
