I like the language, but I never really used it for much.
It’s the same with various other languages I’ve wanted to use, for example Ada. I sit down to work on something, fumble around for a bit, and realize it’s easier just to go back to using C or some other common high level language for whatever I’m doing, even if I think some other language is conceptually better.
I did apply to a job earlier in the year that piqued my interest because it mentioned D. Unfortunately brining that up in the interview seemed to kill my chances at the job, as the vibe swiftly changed and they started talking about how they were trying to get rid of it (mostly an issue of hiring people familiar with it).
