Dynamic library support. Without it, D executables are going to be
unreasonably large. Imagine a large project like gnome or KDE implemented
in only statically linked format.
Everything in the language is acceptable as-is. I have little nitpicks, but
then again, I had nitpicks with C, C++, C#, Java, etc.
It's just that I didn't have the ability to discuss/affect the design of
those languages :)
