- D (the programming language). It's a lot like C++ if C++ were rebuilt around modern concepts like modules.
- Matrix. It's pretty popular but I see way too many open source projects still saying "join our Discord!" instead of "join us on Matrix!"

+1 for D.
Python took 20 years after its introduction to become popular as today, thanks to its more intuitive syntax that was based on ABC.
I really hope after 20 years of its introduction that D will be appreciated and becomes a de-facto language not unlike Python is now. Perhaps even more popular with the advent of connected tiny embedded sensors and machine in the form of IoT are upon us.
D has been out for 20+ years, or did I misread you?
Yes you are right, should be D2 since it has breaking changes to D1.
Matrix has some usability hurdles. I invited people to join our Matrix and a few did, but when I switched to inviting them to Discord, 10x more people came by and are still there. I prefer Matrix for several reasons but you go to where the people are.
