Dicebot: D has done many things wrong, but there is one right thing that
totally outshines it all - it is cost-effective and pragmatical tool for a very wide scope of applications.
would you care to write more on this as a blog post, making it vivid and setting out some examples? that's my tentative judgement too, and why I am here, but I lean very heavily on my intuition and that's not enough to persuade other people when I don't yet have mastery of the relevant domain knowledge, having returned to programming quite recently. I am talking to another decent-sized hf that might be open to exploring the use of D, but the more vivid people are able to make the case the better.
