And it's not just Weka. I've had a chance to talk in private to some

They don't see the point.
No technical project is born great. If you want a technical project to
be great, the people working on it have to focus on its *flaws*. The
D's community just doesn't do that.
To sum it up: fatal flaws + no path to fixing + no push from the
community = inevitable eventual death.
The D Foundation has an Open Collective page
(https://opencollective.com/dlang) with a $12,000 annual "Corporate
Bronze" option that includes 3 priority bug fixes per month. Is that
not a worthwhile investment for Weka or other organizations invested in
D to help address some of the problems you're encountering? If not, is
there an option that would be?
I will definitely pass it on.
