Every few years I look into D and read it and think it's really good and want to write something in it. But then I come across comments on HN that make me feel like it's not good enough compared to something like C++ or Rust. I know I should ignore those, and I do like having a GC, so D seems like maybe a better Go. But one thing I always put ahead of everything else is developer convenience, for example, autocompletion and hover-docs in VS Code. I assume D has these, but I also assume that it's not as well supported as it is in Rust, mostly thanks to some sort of principle that probably has a name by now, where the more hype a language has, the more support its entire ecosystem has, regardless of whether it's a good language or not. Kind of like how writing TypeScript for the web is now amazing to work with, being a zeroeth-class citizen in VS Code (soon to be lowered to first-class after the Go rewrite), simply because JavaScript is the only native language the web speaks. Anyway, if D has wrapper libs for SDL3 and V8, decent docs, works well on both Win&Mac, and has good enough VS Code support, I'd be glad to give it a shot.
