Checkout its gearspace.com thread. There was so much new releases in September that no influencer or journalist had the time to try it. So it gets listed with PR copypasta, without actual trial. This is very common for this field, it is completely dominated by marketing. Actual reviews exist in italian and ukrainian AFAIK.

When people say we have pattern matching and they use a template to prove their point, it doesn't attract people, it drive them away

When you still have to call enums like this MySuperLongInnerScope.MySuperLongEnum.MySuperLongValueA, and people tell you, just us with, it drive people away

When you have a GC that is slower than GO's GC and people tell you, it's the best and you should not care about allocations and allocators stays in experimental for YEARS, then it drive people away

When people tell you D is super fast at compiling code, but then you try the most popular D library (VibeD) it tanks your compile speed, it drive people away

It's the little things that stacks up, it's not longer 2004, there are ton of languages nowadays, so the excuses you had before are no longer valid

D needs a spring cleaning, then people will start to recognize D for what it is, one of the greatest language!

For that to remain true, it needs to clean itself up and to catch up with other languages

Who's this "we" of whom you speak?

D does the job for me. It would be weird for me to post over and over here that it worked for me yet again.

As Mark Twain once said, "There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses."

Agreed. Let's try to bring more people to D? Maybe we need more "hype" like Zig or whatever? No idea. But they languages are really hyped for no special reason, other than "it's a new cool thing".
