> D went from a language that I remember back in 2015 was often promoted on places like reddit and here as a fresh alternative to C++ that was constantly evolving I wrote a blog post in 2012 about D [1]. In my personal experience, the high point of D was around 2008-2009. It was already declining in popularity in 2012, IMHO, due to intense clashes within the D community and the rise of Go, Rust and C++11 outside the community. D remains one of my favorite languages but I agree with you that Rust, Nim or Zig is the better choice for most programmers today.
