Rust had explosive adoption despite targeting the same exact niche as D, there is **not** a lack of developers that want an alternative to C++.

Indeed, and why do Rust have so many contributors to the essential infrastructure? Because they attract C/C++/academic developers that are capable and inclined to contribute to the essential infrastructure.

I don't really see how attracting "scripty" programmers will significantly affect the number of contributors to compiler + tooling. I also don't think the current contributors contributing more will make a significant change.
