I feel like D is such an underrated language.

We're not good at marketing! But we're very good at language ergonomics.

Just to add, I learned D in a day and finished most of project euler without needing to look up the manual. D is more "python" than python in that it makes coding very.

IMHO, Zig is the closest thing to being D-esk (like with comptime), but it's still not a mainstream option yet.
