I always hoped that we could adopt some other standard library's 
interface, be it .NET or python's modules, or Java, anything!

Learning a new standard library takes much more time than learning a new 
language. Learning D's syntax is easy, but when you get to actually 
writing programs, you'll have to dig in to the standard library and you 
basically have to read it all to know what's where. This process takes a 
huge amount of time.
