I agree with the sentiment, I really like D and find a missing opportunity that it wasn't taken off regarding adoption.
Most of what made D special in D is nowadays partially available in mainstream languages, making the adoption speech even harder, and lack of LLM training data doesn't help either.

My experience is that all LLMs that I have tested so far did a very good job producing D code.
I actually think that the average D code produced has been superior to the code produced for the C++ problems I tested. This may be an outlier (the problems are quite different), but the quality issues I saw on the C++ side came partially from the ease in which the language enables incompatible use of different features to achieve similar goals (e.g. smart_ptr s new/delete).
I work with D and LLMs do very well with it. I don't know if it could be better but it does D well enough. The problem is only working on a complex system that cannot all be held in context at once.

That shouldn't stop any self-respecting programmer.
