Using D for most of my personal projects, which are almost all pet game engines. Its a real joy to use. I get to write lighting fast code with the productivity I'm used to with high-level languages. Its really the best of both worlds.

I couldn't dream of writing all of the features I now have in another systems language because of all the extra scaffolding it would require, and I couldn't hope to get anywhere near the performance I have in higher-level languages because I'd lose value types and manual memory management.

The multiple stdlib problem has been solved for years now.
