It used to be that way, but these last 5 years, C# and .Net have grown a lot. If given the choice, i would choose C# every time; Such a pleasant language to program in. All desktops support, native binary compilation, easy (easier?) interop with native code. Lot's of features to promote performance, like structs by reference, explicit stack allocation etc. Well I'm a game developer so for me it's perfect; That said, i remember reading D's specification and really liking it. As it never gained much of a traction with gamedev I looked away. Who knows, maybe in the future.
Rust appears to have a strong push on hackernews, and perhaps DLang should push harder in here. I remember first time i used this language on a friday night on my raspebrry pi and it just worked. The learning curve was pretty low for doing basic stuff such as controlling gpios. Wondering if d lang should perhaps target web devs more, as an easy way to extend, say, nodejs or write wasm apps. It really looks promising.

It's like C# to Java, which has traction only through relentless flogging by Microsoft. There's nobody to flog D.
