Hi, not too sure if there's still someone reading this post, but i do have another question. So, I heared so much good stuff about D, it's powerfull, fast the syntax is nice, but well, why is D actually not used for common games yet? (I mean I know about some smaller projects, but nothing "big")
There's a huge amount of existing, and proven, C and C++ infrastructure in the game industry. Companies aren't going to be willing to throw that out on a whim. Then there are issues about platform support, tooling, GC-phobia, and other small things that all add up to put D in the category of "Big Risk."
That said, it has seen some minor use in the game industry (most notably from Remedy). It may yet see more, but until a AAA team takes a chance on it and has a proven success, I don't expect it to catch on there. The indie/hobby space is a different matter entirely.
