IMO D has a lot to put on the table, and that should work seemlessly. 
So, the elevator-pitch for D is possible. However, it's a personal 
taste what is "better than..." and if helps or not.

My rule of thumb, after many years of experience is, that I'm very 
conservative when it comes to base technology stuff. Less is more, slow 
moving & high quality is better than fast & fancy.
