It's a pity D is not in there with a pitch.
I suspect it is because the companies have heard of Go (and
Rust), but not
D.
I doubt D could make a pitch that would be heard, no google
behind it and all that jazz. D is better aimed at startups like
Weka who're trying to disrupt the status quo than Java shops
trying to sustain it, while shaving off some up-front time.
