ive stated my opinions on D before but i'll paste them here lol
the main issue with D is that the GC was implemented into the language at later point, as well as the ability to disable it, this resulted in the ecosystem being split where you have packages that: either rely on the GC being enabled to work, rely on it being disabled to work, or don't care. the issue is you never know which one you have when installing packages, so things can break completely.
language is fine, ecosystem is a mess.
