Hi,
I had great hope that D within a few years would be the new standard for people
requiring high performance from their language. Then I got wiser
(http://www.inc.com/magazine/20091101/does-slow-growth-equal-slow-death.html?partner=fogcreek),
realizing that D must invade the C/C++ space to not dissappear. And, sadly, D
has not done that, and is definitely moving towards filling a hole in
cyberspace (http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html).
Heck, it's not even listed on Language Shootout any more.
To gain popularity, I would guess that you need to integrate with Microsofts
Visual Studio (plugin compiler and syntax highlighting). And that you need a
few larger projects on board, such as game engines.
There is still hope! Use it or loose it. :)
It's "losing" and "lose", BTW.

My biggest pet peeve in the Internet Age, that.
