I’ve never used D but this really makes me want to give it a shot. Did anyone try it, and would you recommend using it?

Is it still closed source? What is the reason?!
I think it is Open Source now, see https://github.com/dlang/dmd
AFAIK the backend is based on the Zortech C/C++ backend and Walter Bright had to get permission from Symantec to relicence as Open Source.
I see, makes sense.
No idea what the reason was, likely misunderstanding from upper management. I’m not sure going open would make much of a difference at this point
Yeah, C# and Rust, in their own ways, pretty much covered what D lang set out to do.
C# was the solution, we didn’t yet know that we needed, to Java.
