Actually yes. Even though people here are obviously fan's of D, a person is still capable of giving unbiased opinion of it.
I am fan of many things i can certainly say aren't doing all that good and i still remain a fan.

restrict it to 'programming' to get a more accurate assessment of D.

removed C++ because it just dwarfs the others.
D, as I expected, has a massive following in Japan. I'm still not quite sure why.

Maybe because one of the most prolific contributors to D, esp. to dmd, (and by far) happens to be from Japan?

I'm aware of Kenji, I'm just not sure why because I never notice that many Japanese posters here. It seems quite popular on Twitter with Japanese users though which is why I'm familiar with its popularity in Japan.
