D didn't catch on for many good reasons... And it never will. Zig has way more momentum (and it better!) as a "better C", and obviously the main draw of Rust is memory safety without GC which D doesn't have.

D has a way for GC free operation, the easiest way is by using it in BetterC mode. The harder way is writing your own runtime without a GC.

Yes but that isn't memory safe.
