Which features are you most concerned about? I think the feature 
set is quite similar. D is less verbose and is easier to use for 
high level programming, but the clang++ and g++ have fewer bugs 
and quirks than the D compilers. The biggest difference is that 
C++ cannot change much, but D can!  D really ought to make more 
of that advantage... More streamlining even if it breaks stuff.
