How can D become adopted at my company?

Thank you Brad, that's the kind of response I was hoping to 
elicit.

Yes, I know.

I tried to step back and look at the bigger picture, and the 
issue of "what are the pain points which hinder D from being 
used".

As well as "what could the D community do to make D a more 
compelling alternative".

Even when I had my own one-man company, and could use any 
programming language I wanted -- and despite my own unbridled 
enthusiasm for D -- I ended up not using D.
