I am curious to know more about what lead to D lang being chosen for this project?

Check the blog post

- They wanted the same language for implementation and user API

- They wanted a single machine, CPU bound runtime where the executable is the model

Given these, D and Go make sense - easy to pick up, compiles fast and performant.

D I understand, but Go is not a particularly performant language.

Thanks for heads up on blog had missed that. Great!

Why is D so unpopular? It seems to be a decent language.

Not enough marketing. Too much competition in the alternative systems language space.
