I work for another company also putting its eggs in the D basket (SARC). We do not consider this risky because of two main reasons: 1) D is not dependent on the funding of one big corporation, so our future is not at the mercy of such corporation. 2) Three highly compatible compilers exist, all of them libre. Inclusion into gcc is probably the best insurance for any language. The D community may be comparatively small, but for us it is big enough. Changes in and around the language may happen comparatively slowly, but for us they happen fast enough. Tooling may be comparatively limited, but we are actually rather impressed by what is available. The language itself is of course awesome.
