D was doomed from the start. It was designed as an incremental improvement over C++. Initially it provided refuge to burnt out C++ programmers like myself. But once I discovered Rust there was no coming back.

Rust takes its fundamentals from more advanced and well thought out functional languages. As a result it outclasses D and its ilk.
