The D programming language is often advertised as a system programming language due to its static typing and metaprogramming capabilities.

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?

    Between the lack of null safety (which really shouldn’t have been a thing since the 90s), the incapacity in community management and lack of focus of the core devs mentioned by Gnome Kat and glad_cat, I tried Dlang in roughly 2015. It was an OKish experience for trivial tasks, but I noticed the amount of churn in dub packages.

    TL;DR: I would not. And for the same reasons, I wouldn’t recommend Scala either.
