I wrote this video processing GUI app in D using DlangUI:

And a photo processing app I still use regularly:

And a disk space visualizer:

The last two were created in D using DFL. Made for Windows but work well in Wine.

I guess I won't break any secrets if I say quite a few people work for Symmetry now (me included) and one of our biggest projects is an interpreter of an in-house programming language (it was mentioned in some DConf'19 talks).

Interesting. I've been working with CMake for some time already and I hate its language. So I hope I can try to achieve something better one day. I even tried some ideas and saw that it's possible to use D as a scripting language there and have scripts that refer other scripts. So if you want to discuss this, let me know.

Is that language open source?

I use it for work as a way to call D functions from R and vice versa [project page]. That's not the only library I have for numerical computing, but it's the only one I've publicized. As with everyone, I don't have enough time to turn them into public projects.

I'm working on a compiler for a subset of R. When finished, it will allow anyone to compile bottlenecks in R code, requiring only type information and not requiring any knowledge of D. Since not all R code can be made fast or needs to run blazing fast, it will only be the subset of R for which it makes sense.

I have numerous other projects. For instance, my tiddlyd app provides a very simple way to get a TiddlyWiki instance up and running. I've written utilities for Obsidian that convert my files to PDF, html, and other formats, convert org-mode outlines to Obsidian files, convert a directory of markdown files to a TiddlyWiki app, and many other things.

I wrote a post for the D blog right before the pandemic started. I should make some edits to the post because the RInside package merged my code, so all you need is the RInside package on CRAN.
