D seems interesting but I'm kind of put off by the fact that there doesn't seem to be a lot of folks using it, at least in the circles I run in. Anyone have an answer to the question why aren't more people using D?
I don't know; its creator, Walter Bright, is a frequent poster here on YN, and it must be quite frustrating to him. My impression of it has been that it might well amount to a safer version of C, but I have yet to try it on a project.
A comparison with other "better C" languages, like the much more recent Zig, would be interesting too.
That is my understanding of it. A lot of core parts/features had competing options. One one hand is kind of cool. But also, lead to a lot of confusion until the D programming language eventually adopted one or the other as the official one.
