Many years ago I read the D book and really liked many aspects of the language. What kept me from using it was the ecosystem. They had three compilers and two different standard libraries, none of which were fully compatible with each other which led to a whole bunch of weird problems. These days it’s probably better. Maybe I should give it another chance.

If nothing else, there's also OpenD, which might be better for you based on your requirements.

3 Ds? That's too many! Let's make a new D that encompasses them all!

There's now 4 competing standards.

TBH, the compiler issue mostly resolved, only thing that is still problematic is module constructor order between DMD and LDC.
