Why?

Seeing D as "a systems language with features form high-level languages 
but without the performance penalty so you can prefer it over 
C/C++/Java/C# etc.", if D's performance isn't that good then there's not 
much competition for people coming from either sides that expect high 
performance.

bearophile and others from time to time complain about performance 
issues in D, just because D promises performance. I think this is more 
important that adding more features that won't give you higher performance.

performance
