I’ve never used D but this really makes me want to give it a shot. Did anyone try it, and would you recommend using it?

I think it is Open Source now, see https://github.com/dlang/dmd

AFAIK the backend is based on the Zortech C/C++ backend and Walter Bright had to get permission from Symantec to relicence as Open Source.

Yeah, C# and Rust, in their own ways, pretty much covered what D lang set out to do.
