I often recall what I read somewhere in the Net when Java was on the take off. It was like "people are not going to Java, they are running away from the Microsoft platform, and it looks like they are ready to run anywhere". I guess this equally applies to D. C++ stagnates for so long, that even C++ .NET is an option.
"Chicken and egg". I disagree. There is no such problem for a programming language. If it is created to solve something, the very first project is the poster child all suits are satisfied with, like C -> Unix. If it is cool, a community gathers around it and the poster child is born in less than 9 years, like Ruby -> Rails.
