Google has recently set the ABI for their NaCl:

When a language becomes usable online it gets much more visibility. I don't know if NaCl will have success (maybe not. I think Mozilla devs don't like NaCl), but it looks like one of the few (best, only?) ways to use D in browsers. Fast games are one possible purposes for D in NaCl, like a D port of this unfinished game:

Someone is planning of a Mono support for NaCl:

I think some person is willing to install the NaCl plug-in if it allows to run nice enough games in the browser. D is an acceptably good language to write fast games.
