D is my favorite language that I wish I could use more, but the chances of me being paid to use it are too low, I wish that job market would expand, I feel like D needs a really good alternative to Vibe.d a web framework with a well designed ORM, or a rich GUI stack out of the box. Go became massive because a production ready but simple HTTP server came out of the box, and other nice to haves that made being productive in Go a breeze from day 1.
I also like d a lot even if I did not use it that much (toolchain and getting things done problems mostly, besides not great platform support).
The metaprogramming of D is really impressive.
In fact I considered using Vibe.d for some backend: it has fibers. I love stackful coros in general (virtual threads in Java, for example). Way more than stackless for most uses.
But I am afraid that Vibe.d could not be flexible enough. With Java, Python, etc. I have more than enough for my needs right now.
