D is more than 20 years old (from 2001), so it’s due for a renaissance, Python was also in its 20s before it became fashionable.

It kind of bounces back after the catastrophe that D1 vs D2 and Phobos vs Tango caused, but might be broken by AI bros trying to chase the vibe coding trend.

D seems unlikely to get a renaissance. These days languages are facing much stiffer competition, and D has never solved its fundamental problems: It is a rudderless language, that struggles with fragmentation due to the hype-driven addition of half-baked and mutually incompatible paradigms, with a leadership that keeps driving away contributors. I can’t see how any of this could change while Walter Bright is still in charge, but I also don’t see how the language could survive him stepping down as BDFL
