Right now, what's the most important for the success and adoption of D?

I think the problem is BUILDING dynamic libraries from D.  I don't think D 
has any problems linking against dynamic libraries written in other 
languages, as the linker is the same as the C++/C linker.

For example, both tango and phobos are static libs.

I personally don't understand the reasons, as I don't really understand the 
intricacies of compiling/linking, but it doesn't seem to be supported from 
the command line that I can tell.
