Well, C++ was never considered a good language by anyone. It was
shunned at universities by lecturers. Java was basically Simula67 with
a different syntax and some adjustments.
But the demand of the past shifted to the web and now the worst p.
language rules the web (Sorry if you love JS too much but there is
too much bugs). Now we are stuck in it, who knows until when before
the world rushes to a new domain.
I am actually starting to kinda like TypeScript 1.5… And next gen
EcmaScript will have comprehensions…
maturing, and I see it maturing like gold. When D grows up (even
though it is doing powerful things in its infancy), you and I will
appreciate that it did not rush into any domain.
The contributor list to Rust1.2 claims 180 people were involved...

If you focus on a domain more people will have a significant interest
in making it work better.
Rust is also backed by a major organization.
I(and others from what it seemed) was hoping Facebook using D internally
and hiring major D developers would have Facebook promote/champion D a
bit, but this did not happen. D needs a major corporation to champion it.
Even so, D at Facebook is like D kinda still in it's infancy. Anyway. Do
we really want newbies who think OOP is the best thing since sliced
bread to come and try D out just because Facebook is using it?
