Reasons for D: It is a way out of the C++ tar pit, because it does C++ interop better than any other language. D needs to continue to outrun C++ evolving, though. See http://dconf.org/2016/talks/watson.html http://dconf.org/2016/talks/watson.html or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkwaV6k6BmM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkwaV6k6BmM It has powerful meta-programming. It is effectively the opposite of Go, which does not even have generics. This certainly provides foot shooting as well, so other languages (e.g. Rust) are more conservative with that. D examples: https://qznc.github.io/d-tut/meta.html https://qznc.github.io/d-tut/meta.html Those are the two reasons, which D has ahead of all other languages (ok, not Lisp wrt meta-programming). If you compare it to another specific language, there are more things to talk about.
