D2 hasn't even launched to beta status yet; it is pretty premature to say anything
about its success.

There's about a dozen contributors now that I know of to phobos, and about half
the things you listed are library issues - some of those things have been
improved upon in just the last couple months, and in the next couple, there's
lots more in store.

IMO, the language itself is pretty well complete. The list I have of requests
is very small and all low priority - what's left is beautifying the library,
fixing bugs, and improving performance, and D has a pretty good team on this
today.
