Maybe we should do a D survey?

For Rust, D is even mentioned. For the question "What programming languages are you most comfortable with?" 68 of 3085 people selected D.

An interesting fact "currently 19.8% use Rust at work either part-time or full-time". That is 395 of 1994 people.

People who use it at work are more likely to respond.

Yes, sadly sampling bias is a thing.

Would participate in survey, sounds fun.

Yes, this would be interesting to have the picture.

1666 ppl selected Python. For the same Q in the D community I wouldn't be surprised to see something like, let's say, at least 40%, because Python is quoted really often everywhere in the forum or in the bug tracker.

Now that Python has won over Ruby [0], it is the dominant scripting language.

Tried to add javascript to the chart, but got a strange result.
