We're building the tooling for our project in Dlang because it works for us and I'm simply making the point that it's easy to pick up. People here are saying "but contributors!". And I'm going to counter that with "well, if you like the tools and processes, you're going to find a way to contribute and get to learn a nice language while doing so."
Keep in mind that most current Linux distributions today have tooling written in C/C++ and Python. Dlang is unequivocally an upgrade on that, while still being a very approachable programming language ootb IMVHO.
If others were building an alternative to a popular web-thing in Rust, I'd say "Good on them!", not "But golang is more popular for web stuff!" (or something similar according my specific preferences for PL "X" and its current market share).
