Currently, about as many as those who use Rust, although going by hype, Rust seems to be getting a lot more attention (i.e. larger derivative of the usage curve, perhaps?). If you look at usage on github, there's quite a bit of D code for such a niche language.
I've been doing Advent of Code in D, and I'm having a blast:

I particularly enjoyed doing day 18, which required doing message-passing concurrency (or at least simulating it) and D's concurrency primitives fit the problem like a glove:

- jordigh 9y agohttp://githut.info/ http://githut.info/ Hm, although I think my estimate is already outdated? It seems like Rust has picked up a lot of steam in the past six months or so.
- steveklabnik 9y agoAh: GitHut.info Carlo Zapponi 2014 So yes, very outdated. I wish they kept this up-to-date! It's one of the more interesting metrics.

- steveklabnik 9y agoOh this is excellent!
