Looking at all the successful languages, I have noticed that all the

Python was widely used before Google "support". And I think Haskell has
enjoyed corporate support for a lot of time.
My understanding is that Facebook is sponsoring D.
Not much, I think.
*** What does D lack? ***
Sometimes the problem is having too much ;-)
But the final result would showcase that D can do the heavy lifting of
an operating system. Let’s see /language-X/ do that! (Where
/language-X/ is not Assembly, C, C++, or Sing#.)
I think Walter doesn't believe a lot in Sing#...

Sing# has been battle-tested to build an actual operating system. I
don't think it's a matter of belief...
