Nice work thank you for sharing.

Tangentially it’s not clear to me what relevance D should have for any greenfield projects where there is not already heavy investment in a code base to consider.

First there’s the whole Rust comparison, and then the incredible impact of the comparative size and momentum of ecosystems for various languages.

This reddit thread has a few interesting comments. It was quite surprising to see D’s architect/designer discount the value of memory management issues in a sub link there. Anecdotally what I’ve read, and experienced, is that it’s one of the most important sources of bugs when quantity and time to debug and fix are considered.
