Good thing I wrote my own game engine using D, and soon there will be 2 (known) games for it.

D

Don't give me hope.

I was really into D, but I gave up on it because it seemed kind of dead. It's often not mentioned in long lists of languages (i.e. I think Stack Overflow's report did not mention it), and I think I remember once looking at a list of projects that used D and most of them were dead. I think I also remember once seeing a list of companies that used D, and when I looked up one of them I found out it didn't exist anymore 😐️

Give it another go, maybe join the community Discord server.

There's some very well going hobby projects, and D3 seems to be inevitable (safe by default, PhobosV3, etc.).

What are we doing here? Baking a pie?

I just want to note that "Implement Unity" includes the substep of "use C# to generate C++".
