You set your goals too high. :-)

Nevertheless, Objective-C support is quite important in the Apple 
ecosystem because all the higher-level APIs are provided in that form. 
And D with Objective-C support will have stronger type-safety than 
Objective-C itself; perhaps that'll be compelling enough to make some 
Objective-C programmers switch to D, I know it would for me.
