Love D! I used it a bit in college when it was required for a programming language class. It's hard to justify using it nowadays though.

Utah Valley University? Or Romania, or Turkey? And why is D's usage hard to justify (because of Rust and/or contemporary C++)?

Yes, UVU. And also yes. If I find myself needing something low-level and performant, I have a hard time justifying the ramp-up time required to use D since there is a near zero chance I would use it in my current or future employment. While that isn't always how I decide what technologies to use in my personal time, it definitely is a factor that tips the scales towards a more mainstream language
