People have been proclaiming that D is dead or predicting its demise ever since I've been in the community. Twenty years later, it's still here, still evolving, the community is still slowly and steadily growing, and people are still getting work done with it.
There's nothing wrong with complaining. That's how things improve. But anyone interested in seeing the rate of growth and improvement pick up speed can publish blog articles about their projects and share them on social media, tweet regularly about what they're working on, show off their projects on YouTube, submit talks to tech conferences where it's appropriate to do so, talk to friends and colleagues about the joys of programming in D...
D isn't for everyone and never will be. Trying to make everyone happy is an exercise in futility. But the ones who for whom it does scratch that itch can do a lot of good just by telling the world about it. The more of us doing that, the better it will be for all of us.
